You watch the world
Searching for someone to look like
To be like
To think like
You watch the world
Wondering where’s my place
Where do I fit
Who am I
When all the while
Others watch your world
Admiring how you do it
How you say it
How you think
Comparison is a thief
Stealing your sparkle
So you feel you can’t shine
Even though
You’re as bright as the stars
That surround you
