I would give it all away if we weren’t so similar.
I know I do not deserve it,
I did not work as hard as other people,
I could see that in their eyes,
they were trying,
And I wasn't,
And I came out on top,
And there was nothing I could do to stop the amount of tears I would see them cry when they failed,
Because they tried,
And I didn't,
and that's the only difference there was.
This poem is about the feeling of not trying and still doing well. When I was younger this is what I would feel, and seeing other people suffer because they didn’t want to disappoint who they looked up to was interesting. But not trying was the only difference we had, and not wanting to disappoint my parents and those around me, was something that we would both relate to. This poem is supposed to say that even if it something seems easy to one person, it could be hard to another.
