Best to Worst
☆Faith☆ (A Series Of Poems)
My shoes are no longer shining
My hair is no longer bright
The softness of your hands
That once brought me to light
You told me I was capable of anything
But then why do I always fall back down
It's so humiliating
And I'm tired
To be the star student
That always seems to drown
The things that once brought me joy
Now make me feel sick to my stomach
The things I was once good at
I've fallen from that throne
It seems all eyes are on me
Though I know no one cares
It's so overwhelming
All the time
Comparison after each in-class compare
You say you preach compassion
But I'd rather not be here
To know my answers suck
And I'll never be good enough
A model sample essay
that I can no longer achieve
A model sample runner
who had values extending to her team
Disheveled face and glasses
Hair that falls on a shelf
When she lowers her head and face
To show the world she needs help
And the shivers that control her
When she thinks back to the past
Who she was and who she now isn't
Best to Worst
Is the award she's been given
