I Might Not Be A Loser After All

I Might Not Be A Loser After All
Elaine A.

I would rather sing to my soul
Of the tragedy
That is me
Than sing to the crowd
And let them think
I am who I want to be

I would rather get up
In the morning
Being ugly
Than spend the rest
Of my life
Believing I was pretty

I would rather bore you
Of how life is
In all its simplicity
Than entertain you
With meaningless words
To let you think I was witty

I may have no talent
Not pretty
In any way
You may have everything
Everything
All in a day

But I keep silent
With my passion
Something you’ve never seen
Perhaps I might emerge
The victor
And do exactly as I mean

I hate to think I’m just being jealous. I’m not. Am I?

    Who is this you are jealous of?

  2. Elaine Says:

    Ah, just someone I know. ;) I’m not really a green-eyed monster. I actually am proud of her and her achievements. I just have issues. Hahah. :D

  3. Dayu Says:

    You see, you’re indeed jealous. :P
    But don’t worry, “God is a jealous God!” our catechist teacher often told us. So you know you are not alone, hahah! :D

    Jealousy won’t bring you any good nor to her/him. Perhaps you can consider him/her a “good rival,” where both of you race for the highest goal while helping each other push one another’s talents to the limits.
