Alone

(poems go here) I hold back my pain. I do it all the time. If only people saw the true me, without me paying a dime. I see my friends, I see their lives. I think they're better, better then mine. One friends, gorgeous as can be. Gets all the guys, unlike me. Another friends, talented beyond compare. I cannot match her, I could not dare. Another close friend, considered a school buff. Beats all my grades by a landslide, I'm just not good enough. I dream one day I'll be like them, Smart talented and beautiful. Along with being tough, tougher than a bull. My confidence is very low, as one can see. Maybe I'm just average, and that's all I'll ever be. I still believe there's hope. Hope, love, joy, and grace. Then maybe you'll see a smile, a smile upon my face.
