Overacheiver

I did better than all the rest but that was normal for me to lose a bit of sleep just so I could do good but you just don’t understand why I do this all the time I have to and although it seems odd it’s true for just me and not you the only way I get seen is to overdo everything I’m smart but not that smart pretty but not gorgeous I fit in but only just that maybe if I had many talents my family would see but here I am plain Jane with nothing special to my name all my talents are not unique just as good as other people’s and always someone can do it better so here I am overachiever just so they may see me even if it is just this once maybe so I can gain a moment from that name plain Jane with no other talents to her name
