Better Than Me

by Melissa Speck

Sometimes, I ask myself, "Is all this just a dream?"
Am I ever going to awake to a life that I can be proud of?
But how could that ever be?
What qualities do I have for someone to love?

Why do I fear others seeing who I am on the inside?
Should I finally show the girl behind the mask?
Why do I care about those that judge me, and force me to hide?
What is it that I don't have?

What are they hiding behind their eyes?
What are they hiding that I can't see?
What are they hiding in their lies?
What makes them better than me?
