A Stone Among the Gems
I tried to be something I'm not
I tried and tried,
But not a praise I got
I tried so hard to be the best
I tried harder and harder
I know tried harder then most of the rest
I did not care whether short or long
But I tried to find my own path
Alas, every single path I found was wrong
I don't know how long it will be
when I figure myself out
I can only hope that finally it will help me
I'm tired of being looked down upon
I'm tired of their skeptical remarks and looks
But when criticism ends I might be long gone
I'll live and put up with life's games
I will, I know I will
But I'll still be known as a stone among the gems.
