What Makes you Better?

Why must you be the best?
Isn't it lonely at the top?

Why do I have to be skinny?
Won't that make me a hollow shell?

Why can't I get your approval?
Don't you ever want to be loved?

Why do I care what you think?
Aren't you just labeling me for convenience?

Why am I not good enough?
Why do you need me to be different?
Why is there always something wrong with me?
Why do I sit alone at night and feel this way?


Why do I let you in?


Why don't I just shut out the world?
Why not just refuse to feel?

Why?

Because I'm stronger
Because I'm better
Because I will do what I can to make things right.

I will never be what others want me to be.
Therefore, I will only be what I want to be.


I want to be free.
