[hometext] => Rambling about intimidation from perfect people.
[bodytext] => Remove me,
From the essence of my sorrow,
These impulsive jerks of emotion I fall to.
I am collapsing,
Another star detaches itself,
From the heavenly glitter above.
Pelt me, pelt me all you want,
With subtle hints and the intimidation you pose,
And watch as my pulse grows weaker.
In your life,
Everything falls into place,
The peal of applause when people see your face.
You've never succumbed to the seething pain I bear,
You never saw yourself hidden from the limelight,
You've always had that chance to glow,
And I've always been watching in your shadows.

These impulsive jerks of emotion I fall to.

You've always had that chance to glow,
And I've always been watching in your shadows.

We all have our own individual strengths and weaknesses. Never allow yourself to feel inferior to anyone or walk in anothers shadow. No matter where you go or what you do there is always going to be someone you think can achieve goal better than you. That is because we are our own worst enemys when it comes to judging ourselve. Stand tall and stand strong. Admire anothers strengths but never doubt your own abilities.

uh..sadly, I don't have any of those great inspirational quotes that are meant to feel better, but I just want to say I totally agree with you.
It's just damn unfair how everything gets handed down to them while others have to strugle through thorns...
lol ok thats enough...

| Ohh I really, really loved this, probably my favorite poem by you so far. I know this is easy to say but "Nobody can make you feel inferior without your consent." - Eleanor Roosevelt. I used to feel the way you do a lot but I'm learning not to let other people's talents and abilities shadow over me. We're all special, and that's not b.s. ;) |

It is hard being a shadow when another glows in the limelight. The last stanza really touched my heart.
You write extraordinarily well.

This is quite special to me i was always criticized as a child and always thought everyone was better than me, until i grew up and realized it was my taunters who had the problem, Excellent.
