Yesterday was Wednesday 

The day when I’m judged for hours 

Petite girls with little shoes 

Heads taller than them all 

Painstaking hours in fount of a mirror

This is where I silently try to fit in 

The average- too tall to be good girl 

After School 

I try to hardest to please 

The coach with favorites 

As hard as I try I’m never one of them 

If I’m being honest I don’t belong here either 

As much as I would love it 

The uncoordinated-people pleaser 

During school 

I used to be the quiet 

Fade into the background girl 

That was before I found my people

Used to be never missed 

But now I’m someone's first choice 

That doesn’t come without a price though 

The talked about-try not to care girl 

At home 

All I have to do is live up to 

Endless expectations 

Seems like I never rest 

I will never practice enough 

Could always be cleaner 

And always better 

The not a clone of my dad-not quite good enough girl
