I believe in you


Honestly I wish i could say I was better,

I wish I could say i was smarter, 

I wish I could say that it wasn’t me.

I am scared.

Scared of what they will think.

I don’t want to look pathetic.

Stupid. Unworthy.

What’s happening to me?

Just stop and think,

remember who you are.

Who cares what they think?

Work harder.

Study more.

Stop whining. 

You can do this.

Everyone is counting on you.

They believe in you,

I believe in you.
