Why am I afraid to try?
What can be the consequence of failure?
Disappointment?
Woe?
Dejection?
I speak as though it's permanent;
As if the rejection letter back from Harvard will forever define of me
As if my bruised face will eternally embarrass me from another fight
As if my voice cracking in the middle of a recital will forever
Keep me under my potential

Why do I say such degrading remarks?
"Oh I wish I was like you, i wish I wasn't me,
i wish I could have been someone else"
When there is no two person alike

Maybe that's why we crave to be under someone's shadow
Because we think that we don't deserve to have our own fingerprint
"Her fingerprint is so much more valuable"
"Her smile is worth more than mine"

There is no hand like mine
No soul that can shine
And can rejuvenate hearts and rekindle smiles like wine

No one person like me
Exists other than me
It's lonely and misleading
Because I'm the only one

To venture in life in my point of view
If I think about it, it's upsetting
No one can understand my heart
My wonders, dreams, secrets and thoughts
Other than me

We are the loneliest creatures we know
The only one of our kind exists
genetically so similar
But distinctly so different

Through our isolation and pains
We unite
Under one force of love and affection
We create the future

And to think I won't be part of this future
To think I'm not capable of any contribution
To the betterment of our society
When no one can see things the way I can:

How foolish
