I can rise
I thought
I was okay and happy
Being i n d e p e n d e n t
But
Every time I
Actually have H O P E
Everything

s
Right in front of me
Before even being put
Into place
I'm always
A second choice
Cared about
Just a little
l

s
s
Always
The shoulder
To cry on
I'm tired
Of never being
On the top of someone's list
How I'm never
Good enough
Even for M Y S E L F
And it hurts
More than I thought it would
There's always
Someone prettier
Better
Skinnier
S t r o n g e r
Than me
But I can

Much higher
Than that
I can keep going
Much farther than them
These eyes have witnessed more
Than theirs ever will
They don't and won't understand
What it means
To have a b r o k e n

And to have nobody
To

It all b a c k
Together
