I compare myself
To the second part of a book,
Widely anticipated
but nearly always dissapointing
Wanted at one point,
But the attraction ends after seconds
Never as good as the first
but Better than what's next
Second best to everyone
And first place to none
Like a trophy of silver
but Never of gold
I'm looked at in awe
but never cleaned to a shine
Shoved behind the rest
Hidden from sight
The downgrade of something wonderful
and the upgrade of something terrible
Stuck forever in the middle
Never to break out
Who wants the lonely,
Covered in self doubt?
When they can have
The bold and the beautiful?
The star, the breakout?
Author notes

Clever Write
This is so creatively written and clever! I felt so bad reading it! (the meaning) But I kept going "Wow! she is only like 15 and her writing is so creative and unique!" I love all the similes! And such unique comparisons. Awwwww....it did make me feel bad though, cause the subject was so sad.
My favorite line was:
"Who wants the lonely,
Covered in self doubt?
When they can have
The bold and the beautiful?
The star, the breakout?"
In my book your a star kid!
Bravo!
