Expectations

by cmkdbacks

I was bigger, I was stronger, I was supposed to be the best. I was smarter, I was wiser, I was supposed to be the best. I was funnier, I was gayer, I was supposed to be the best. I was cuter, I was prettier, I was supposed to be the best. I am me and nothing more. That is the best.

<p>Considering you used &quot;supposed&quot; throughout the poem it suggests that you are not, so the optimistic twist at the end is really enjoyable :)</p>

<p>Not expectation but acceptance. Be happy life is too short.</p>
