I have a friend who is nothing like me
And she somehow is everything I want to be
I wish I could brush off the mean comments just like she
without feeling there might have been some truth in their words to me

This friend of mine is so confident and bright
And I suppose I could also be like that, right?
I try to be but obviously I fail because how can I be like that
When she is so beautiful and I am the opposite and it makes me sad

She gives me advice and tells me to open up
She tells me that there is nothing to fear, is there not?
I take on her advice but it doesn't work much for me at all
Since everytime I try following her ideas I only always stumble and fall

Oh but really did I not learn anything?
Well I suppose I actually did learn something
I somehow gained a bit courage and it made me dwell
That maybe after all I'm just being too ******* myself
