"You have not even begun to scratch the surface of how important your life means to not only me, [y]our friends and [y]our family, but your life, which is a gift for the world that is waiting for you." - Brent Smith.


sometimes,
I feel like I'm above people.
superior,
smarter,
sometimes even divine.
I feel like nobody equals me,
that I'm one in my own.
People around me,
don't see the things I do.
I see simpler solutions,
to what they call complicated problems.
I don't like this feeling,
this overwhelming Superiority.
it is ever-present,
no matter how much I hide it.
I try to be my best,
I try to be my kindest.
but no matter what I do,
this Superiority remains...

an inner conflict that i often have expressed in words. to other peoples eyes, i'm a humble, kind person. but within, i know it and i relish it, and i hate that about myself.
