[Flash 9 is required to listen to audio.]Title: The Competition
38 plays
I never wanted to be better than my friends
I just wanted to prove wrong the people in my head
the ones who told me I’d be better of dead
the ones who told me that I would never win
when I delivered newspapers they said I was too slow
when I was a barista they said I made lousy foam
when I worked in retail they said I was a slob
much too dumb for school and much too lazy for a job
so I rode my bike like lightning
and I made cappuccinos that would make the angels sing
took two showers a day and I dressed up like a princess
shook my fist in my own face and said I’ll show you who’s the best
I wrote the kinds of papers teachers hang up on their walls
I was employee of the month at seven different shopping malls
and one time playing football I pulled the tendons in my leg
to prove that I was tough I hopped on one foot
and finished up the game
I thought if I succeeded I’d be happy and they’d go away
but first thing in the morning I’d still wake up and I’d hear them say
“you’re fat, ugly, and stupid, you should really be ashamed
no one will ever like you you’re not good at anything”
and sometimes I’d rise to the challenge
but other times I’d feel so bad that I could not get out of bed
and on the days I stayed in bed I sang and sang and sang
about how crappy I felt no realizing how many other people would relate
Then there’s those days…when by the end of it..all you really want to do is cry
