Inadequate
That's how I feel around them all
Mere and inadequate
They shine
I can see the flames burning in their hearts
But when I look to myself I find nothing
Only embers burning in the ashes of what once was
My pride shrinks
And confidence dwindles
Unless I'm a Phoenix
My end may come soon
I'll be alone
Like I was upon the beginning of my journey
Will I burn out so soon?
