I look at my peers, they’re so much better than me. They’re actually good at what they do. I’m average. Everything I do is average. Nothing special. They deserve to be here. I don’t. Confined to restraints that I have put on myself, except I can’t seem to find the key. I think I buried it in my brain somewhere. Oh well, I could sit here and list out all the bad things about myself. Can I quickly list them out for you? I promise they’re worth your time. It’s okay if you don’t wanna listen, I’m lucky you’re even reading this. This might be a dumb question, but do you ever feel this way? I know everyone says I deserve to be here, but in truth, I don’t think I’ll ever be good enough to deserve this.

Man, where did I put that key? 

I’m tired. 

I’m so tired.
