I wish I could stop comparing myselfA Poem by Maysin EmeryA poem of all the reasons Im sad.
I can't stop comparing myself to others, I've always done it,
It started with small things, Now all I do is compare myself to others, Every time I look at myself, I see how far behind I am. I'm a third wheel to my friends, My photography sucks, I'm not really good at anything. I wish I could be like my friends who have happy relationships. I wish I was great at photography & that people actually liked it. I know I'll never measure up, so I've become a slacker. I know that no matter how "well" I seem to be doing, that I'll always find a way to f*ck up. I look at others and say to myself, I wish I was as pretty as she is; I wish I was as tall as he is, and I wish I was as cool as they are. I know that no matter what I do I'm stuck as me, that's why I became Maysin. I grew confidence, I tried to better myself, yet here I am still stuck as plain old helpless Autumn. Maysin is who I want to be, she is who I am, she's everything I wished I was as a kid. Maysin is who I've become, she is all of my past experiences, she is everything I've learned. She is me; I took my power back & gave myself a voice to speak up and speak out. She is my confidence. Even though she is who I am, I still can't help but feel like I am still a weak nobody who is bad at everything. © 2023 Maysin Emery |
