worm

I am not as strong as they think I am.

I am not who they want me to be.

And I,

I can't be as they need me to be.

All this weight is just pushing me down.

I'm not strong enough.

They don't understand.

Their expectations are so fucking high.

They are waiting for me,

a stupid caterpillar,

to turn in to an amaizing butterfly.

But what they can't see

is that I'm no caterpillar,

I'm a worm.

Well, it’s actually a metaphor, they think to know me when they really don’t. It’s like they don’t see the real me. Thank you for asking

Who told you that you are a worm, and/or what makes you believe that you are?
