Filling in the Shoes
I feel as though nothing I do will ever be good enough.
That I will always live in the shadow of what has already been done.
I just can't be who they want me to be,
The bar of expectation seems to raise itself higher as I reach to grasp it with my sweaty palms.
They expect me to be someone I'm not,
To transform into a perfect carbon copy of someone else.
I'm no longer allowed to be myself,
Everything I do is measured,
Compared.
It must live up to someone's standards now.
I'm being forced to take on a role,
Cloths far to big and baggy for my slender figure to fill.
I'm expected to grow into them I suppose,
To make someone else's clothes fit.
The only thing is,
I don't know if I can.
