Measuring Up

Sometimes I feel That no matter what I don't measure up. There's just something inside me A lack of trust,No one can see I just don't measure up It's hard not to try to compare Being last in line,when others shine I just feel I don't measure up. I try so hard to try to be More like them instead of me Instead, I don't measure up. Is this something in my head Or a reality that is true. Why I don't measure up. I used to say I don't care But deep down its always there I feel I don't measure up I wish I knew what I could do To change how I feel So I could measure up.

You just keep writing and getting to know people and having confidence and you will feel more and more sure of yourself. It's nice to meet you and I hope to see many more poems of yours.

Thanks Andrea, I think it is a youngest of a large family syndrome. I should research it. LOL thanks for the kind words.
