I tire of being like myself
I tire of being original
I tire of impressing you
And engaging in one-sided conversations

I feel I will never be impressive
That I will always lack
My body is not good enough
My skin too thick

I cut out all the sarcasms
All the intelligent thought
I stand still and look stupid
And everyone thinks me to be glamourous
Only I know I'm not as
Pretty as they are.
