When Average Feels Like failure

When I used to feel great, I stood tall. 

I felt like a shining star in the dark. 

Now, I feel small and dim. 

People see me, but they don't really understand.


The crown I wore felt perfect before. 

Now, it feels too tight. I used to soar high, 

but now I crawl. 

The pressure of expectations feels heavy.


I know I’m not the best, and that’s alright. 

But it still hurts when I feel this way. 

I fear what others think of me. 

That critical voice in my head never goes away.


When being average feels like failing, 

I wonder if I can get back up. 

The road ahead seems long and dark. 

In this quiet, I feel out of place.


But I remind myself that I’m human, 

just like you. Sometimes I feel lost, 

but I continue to grow. 

One day, I hope to see that being myself is enough for me to feel free.
