Compared.

#1
Have you ever been compared to someone?
If you have, it hurts, as you know.
But if not, pray you never do so.

Being compared to someone is
like a dagger to the heart.
Those people, they're like ravens
they pick you apart.

Why don't you look like her?
She gets a 10 as a rate!
Your sister is prettier!
No wonder you can't get a date!

Why aren't you in shape?
Your stomach isn't flat!
She would look better in that outfit!
It just makes you look fat!

Why aren't you smart?
Your sister get straight-a's!
She has a brighter future!
Her job will get better pay!

Listening to yourselves.
Why are you comparing?
I am my own person!
Goofy, bubbly, and caring!

I know I'm not perfect.
There are things I can't do.
But why are you making me feel bad.
When not everything's okay with you.

Before you open your mouth to speak.
Know what's going to come out.
Is it helpful or hurtful?
What's it about?

Have you ever been compared to someone?
If you have, it hurts, as you know.
But if not, pray you never do so.​
