Beautiful Loser


I am not like you

I am not like me

I change everyday 

Into what I am supposed to be,

I am grateful that I have a gift

To glow radiantly with potential

What’s “Lame” to them  

Is pretty important to me

I breathe in air, but breathe out excellence

Only a few can see what I see

Only they understand me

I have cried

But my tears turn into gems

They don’t vaporize, because I always shine

I told God tell me what you want me to be and I'll be it.

There's a light and I see it.
