What am I good at?
What screams my name?
What can I do well at?
Is there anything at all?
I am constantly being told,
Being bested at,
All the things I wish to do.
And there are a lot.
I wish be be an artist.
But everyone draws better than me.
I wish be a singer.
But everyone tells me to shut up.
I wish to be a dancer,
But I can’t remember the moves.
I dream to be on Broadway
But am told to keep dreaming.
I wish to understand math.
But no one stops to help.
I wish to be the best reader.
But everyone reads just a little more.
So I am left here to write.
Because it is the only thing I am good at.

this is actually a relatable piece. a lot of the time we are told that we can’t do things, and it discourages us and makes us wonder if we’re any good at all. i believe, however, that you are a good writer, but it couldn’t possibly be the only thing you’re good at.
