Shining Above All Others
  Glimmering,
  Gleaming,
  Shining above all others.
  Knowing the importance of perfection.
  Knowing the need for overachieving.
  Knowing the hunger inside your soul
  The need
  The importance
  To shine above all others.
  Knowing the unbelievable feeling
  Of not being
  Good enough.
  Smart enough.
  Cool enough.
  Likeable enough.
  Wanted enough.
  By the perfect human beings surrounding you.
  Needing to show them
  Prove to them
  That you are worth it.
  That you are perfect too.
  That you deserve a friend.
  That you are just as good as them.
  As smart.
  As cool.
  As likeable.
  As wanted.
  Not knowing one thing.
  You are trying to prove it to yourself.?
