He gets more attention
All the smiles and cheers
Always active, confident
Fast-talking and smooth
I can’t shake the feeling
The rotting bad inside
He seems like he cares
It feels like he lies
Therein unfolds the inner query
To confront it is easier said
To admit to oneself a true desire
Despite a loathing of an other’s way
Am I jealous?
I ask myself, unbelieving
Believing, angry and sad
I admit to myself, it could be
To be like him? To be him?
With all the disdain that would bring
From myself more than others
I choose no, and feel burning regret
I love myself, I feel quite certain
For all my faults and lacks
For all that I’m not that he is
I am what I am, as so many have said
It is true and I will confess it
I am wrong in so many ways
Perfection falls steeply and far
From the reach of my hands
But in numbers more numerous
In ways he cannot even see
I am as good and righteous
As anyone could ever hope to be

Author's description I’ve just realized I hate writing these descriptions. The whole beauty about poems is that they’re mostly left to the reader’s interpretation. So go on! Interpret!
