Try my best, but it’s only seen as the worst.
Try “100%” even though I’m going 200%.
Always seen as an overachiever,
I’m looked over,
Overseen by people passing.
I can’t be seen for what's right,
People only see what's wrong
What's the worst?
What's the worst that could happen?
Be a bad example,
Even though I’m the one to lead.
Can’t be overseen,
Can’t be overlooked because I’m too loud,
Can’t be missed,
My voice booms over everyone,
Always cheering for others, but don’t get that back.
Feel less than them,
Never with someone else,
Always alone and grinding alone,
Trying to be the best,
Trying to get far.
Only to be told it’s what's expected of me.
How it's meant to be.
How I’m just “better” than them.
But none of the hard work is seen,
Through the tough times and good ones,
I will always just be the overachiever,
My flaws are the only things noticed.
I try my best, but it’s only seen as the worst.
