Y'all, it's a poem from a non-poet...lol. This one is for you. I know you feel inadequate sometimes and not good enough, just know you aren't alone. It's okay to feel those things just as long as it's not in comparison to some other person. Your only goal always, should be to be a better version yourself. So here's my poem for you....
The other twin
Even at my best, I am still found wanting
I climb the highest hill but it seems like it wasn't high enough.
Even in my struggle to be nice, I am not nice enough
"She is fine but not pretty enough"
If only she were fairer, but they mean as fair as she
If only she were taller, but they mean as tall as she
If only she were prettier, but they mean as pretty as she
But I am neither, and I don't give a shit.
I make no apologies, cause I didn't create me
Even if I did create me, I still make no apologies,
If you want prettier, don't come wanting from me
If you need cuter, don't come needing from me
If you crave nicer, don't come craving from me.
Cause I am neither, not aiming to be.
It's a cliché story,
of the other twin's worry,
That she would forever tarry,
In the other twin's glory.
Yes, I am the other twin
Yet, never lost my swing.
I work on my best, not because I am found wanting
I climb the next highest hill , not because the last wasn't high enough
But I never struggle to be nice, I was never nice enough
It is fine that I am not pretty enough.
"Pretty enough" never helped no one enough.
