{Puzzle Piece 2} - Not That Great

I can feel them looking at me with their intense gazes

Everything from that night seems to be a haze

Everything just gets blurred together

And then my head seems to hurt for forever

I have no idea what happened

It's like I've been abandoned

Stranded all alone on an island

No one there to help me stand

No one can hear me scream and shout for help

Can't they hear my yelps?

I can feel my face become a void of emotions

As it gradually becomes too hard to get the through the motions

My friends have all left me

I have nowhere to flee

Nowhere to call home

They've left me all alone

I feel anger burn through my veins

I try to struggle out of the invisible chains

The chains that seem to be holding me back

I let out a cry

And tell me try

Try harder because you never do enough

That what my father used to tell me, so I could be tough

He though I could be strong

But my, was he wrong

I am no superhero

I can't win every fight sometimes I'll have to get zero

I can't always be resilient

I am not so brilliant

I am always left alone

With no place to call home

Home is somewhere I don't want to be

I always feel like I'm lost at sea

No sense of direction

And no protection

I feel cold inside

But I must be strong on the outside

I feel alone and isolated

I feel so outdated

Tossed aside like the trash they think I am

The second I fail an exam

I know I am supposed to be great

But sometimes I lose my armor plate

The plate that keeps me from harm

Their screams of rage louder than an alarm

But I am no superhero

I can't win every fight sometimes I'll have to get zero

I can't always be resilient

I am not so brilliant

You may think I'm heroic and almighty

That I'm as pretty as Aphrodite

But I can assure you that I'm not all that

I'm just a little rat

You think I'm powerful

Ha! Yeah right I'm more like a handful

I will never be as wonderful as Hercules

I wasn't made perfectly

I am no superhero

I can't win every fight sometimes I'll have to get zero

I can't always be resilient

I am not so brilliant

I'm not that great
