Her

Who'd wish to be her?

She seems to always panic,

Her interests appear mundane

Just boy bands, romance novels, matcha latte.

There isn't anything spectacular,

It's not cool to be basic,

To consume content sugary and plain

To merely wear beige, white and grey.

 

I always sparkle with glitter

Always strutting with justified avarice.

My likes, clothes layered with latent intent

My way of life is intense, done with taste.

Yet I wish I could be her

Because it's her you're with

The one who's laid the claim

She's the one, the lover in your gaze.

 

Wherever, whenever, I should be better

Always striving, forever a romantic

Always putting and getting the work in

Yet the stick I draw is shorter,

My state is never better, always manic

This state of loneliness, forever trapped in

Because she's taken you away.

Notes

Beauty, brawn, and brain; they say I have all three. But even with the whole world in my palm, I am still not enough for him. I won every race and metric except for the only one that ever mattered to me: love.

It's free verse with an abcd rhyming scheme.
