What I Would Give to Be
I will never be the kindest,
Smile brightest,
Or know what to say.
I will never be the most wanted
Never sought after,
Never asked to play.
I will never be looked at,
Or thought of,
Unless I make my own way.
But I can't, and I won't,
Move toward a new day.
I will never be the most talented,
The one spotted;
If you didn't already know.
I will never be the strongest.
Never asked out.
Never starring in the show.
I will never be applauded
Or cheered on
Unless I let them know....
But I can't, and I won't,
I just want to go.
Never, no never, will they say,
"That's hers, no one else's. Hers alone."
