Put On A Pedestal and left there alone

"This is the best student who ever came to this school"

They called me smart

They called me the best

I was proud of being smart

Of being the best of the best

Then I wasn't

A new people, a new school

I was mediocre at best

You're so smart

You have so much potential

You're going to be great

You can do whatever you want to do

I don't know what I want to do

I have no passion, no purpose

I'm expected to shoot for the moon

and then some but

What if I can't?

What if my half baked plans fail?

What if I'm not good enough?

And what if I am?

What if I succeed at everything I do?

What if I leave everything and everyone

I care about behind so I can be great?
