why does it have to be this way
why cant i just be something worth while
why cant i just be smart
why cant i just be pretty
even better why cant i just be happy

i used to want to be something great something amazing
but now i just want someone to see something
i just want one person to look at me and wish to be me
i want someone to stop and wonder who i might be

im used to being nothing but a failure
but time makes the woods of my failure evergrowing
like the roots of a tree
they grow deep deeper

im like an old dying tree
watching the bigger better older trees
outgrowning me outliving me
they grown over me
ill never be even near them
they grow and grow

i wait for the day when
the they finally cut me down
all the while the big trees laugh at me
laughing at how hard i tried to be like them

trees like me dont last long
we fade away into the darkness
never regrowing from our roots
