Why do I try so hard to be smaller?
Weren't we all born to stand up, stand out?
Hitherto I've been letting myself down,
My visage, a veneer of a smile,
No less a forced grimace
Why?
So that I can let you stand out,
At my expense?
Why so many a time others have succeeded,
Where I have encountered perceived failure,
Is it I?
Assiduous avoidance is not the solution.
It is time I let myself shine through,
BECAUSE I AM WHO I AM, AND I AM PROUD OF BEING WHO I AM.
