Sometimes

I feel that

I'm on the outside

looking in.

I see myself

Through the glass

wishing I could be strong.

Like a duck

shrug off

the rain

And have

nothing bother me.

I have it easy

My life isn't hard

but thrust

into your world

I feel inadequate.

I want to live out my dream

but the critiques hurt me

(i feel like such a whiner)

so I want to run

(i feel like such a baby)

improve and fix

(hide little baby! hide!)

or give up altogether.

I believed

this was my gift

from God

I believed

that this

what He wanted me to be.

Could I be wrong?

How could I be wrong?

Writing

since I was six

I feel like such a whiner

I feel like such a baby

I feel like I am losing.
