Array ( [sid] => 54374 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => I'll Never be the Best [time] => 2004-07-01 13:04:50 [hometext] => This is just about being happy with who you are. [bodytext] => I'll never be the best
No, I'll never be like you
But I know there's someone out there who thinks I'm better than the rest
Even if I'm not perfect, I enjoy my life all the way through

I may not be a super model
But that doesn't mean I'm not beautiful
I like to take my time and not live life full throttle
I know I don't have to drink or smoke for my friends to think I'm cool

I know I'm not an awesome singer
But I still sing along
Pat Benetar sings well, no I am not better than her
But I figure I'll sing along since I know all the words to her best song

I'm not the smartest kid in class
But that doesn't make me dumb
I don't need straight A's to pass
If I don't understand something, it will eventually come

I've got good morals and a very sweet heart
I try to enjoy every moment of every day
I realize now, I don't have to be pretty, popular, or smart
With these thoughts in mind, I'll have an amazing day [comments] => 2 [counter] => 151 [topic] => 19 [informant] => Colleen [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 5 [ratings] => 1 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => InspirationalPoems )
