We all feel like we have to be the best because everyone expects us to be the best But the best is an untouchable and unreachable standard that we set ourselves And we set this standard but we only end up feeling that were invaluable
Invaluable because we need to have something were good at We need a thing to feel like were good enough but other people are better And everyone is constantly competing against each other to reach this untouchable standard, expectation
Expectation because everybody needs to feel needed and special We need to feel special but it's getting harder to feel special because were not the best Not the best compared to everybody else that were subconsciously competing with Were competing because its all we know and all we know how to do
All we know how to do because were constantly placed against everybody else Constantly compared because we feel like we need to find the best But the best is an untouchable and unreachable standard that we set ourselves because we need to feel worthy
Worthy of the praise and the glory because were made of jealousy And jealousy obstructs our view of who we really are and what we love Because who we are and what we love can be compared to other people And when we compare we come back to the untouchable and unreachable standard
You don't have to be the best in order to feel special and loved Because were all the best at different things even if they aren't advertised You don't need to win a competition or be famous before everybody else You don't need to because you can't compare compassion or love You can't compare ability and performance to other people You can't because were all different and conditions and situations are different No one is living the same as you are and no one knows who you truly are And you don't owe anyone anything because they aren't you
You don't need to be the best The untouchable and unreachable standard Because who you are can't be compared to anybody else because they dont have your mind They dont have your heart and your soul and thats what matters Being the best isn't about measuring how special we are Being the best is about feeling better than other people and being superior
Superior because we all need a little power sometimes and some people have but don't need And some people need but don't have because they aren't the best But we dont have to set this untouchable and unreachable standard because were different
