Ms. Gualitos English Class - Versions of Me
In process alike
fearing conflict and judgement together
They strive for the status of being better
Sports are something that I strive to understand
knowing that I’m the one who should be confident
in who is better.
Gamer, a part that operates equality to sports
just ashamed and frustrated equally
This part knows that it competes for being the
best that I can, knowing that not everything I do
will be victorious, but easily frustrated when
it’s out of hands reach.
Parts of me yearn to be the best but just
so easily put down when it’s out of reach.
Knowing I put in effort keeps me calmer
but actually accepting it isn’t easy or it
seems like my fault nonetheless
