definition

She strived to be perfect

Until one day, she realized she couldn't.

And that was the day that

She took off her mask

And never looked back.

But of course society

Just had to intervene.

They declared her a traitor,

And turned all away.

He wanted to matter.

But how could he truly?

After all, he's in this universe,

That has more than one star.

And if you're to be the brightest,

You're to explode the largest.

So why try being the best

when you'll hurt more than the rest?

Why tell us to define ourselves,

When all we have is pain?

All you're doing is reminding

Of our insignificance

In this overwhelming world.
