i'm so tired
of feeling
this way.

feeling like
i am never good enough
to be great at something.
feeling like
i am only an
extra in the background.
feeling like
no matter how hard i work,
no one will notice.

i'm so tired of this.
i hate this.
i'm so exhausted every day.

i want to be a star, too.
i want to dance and sing and shout
my own words and moves.

but the voices
tell me that this is
all i'll ever be.
      just a supporting role.
      just a nameless member.
      just an extra in my own story.

please,
just once,
i'd like to shine just once.
