A Try-Hard
A try hard
In getting attention
In achieving social validation
Just so she didn’t feel left out
An outcast
But she was pretending
Never actually feeling satisfied
And she yearns
Taking that mask off her
The one which others call as ‘ideal’
But she was afraid
Of social perception
And she was afraid
That others would not like her
So she kept on wearing
That same mask over and over
