“GREAT-ish”-Scarlet Five

February 11, 2018 / d0rkvader

There was a girl, I used to know her,

She was afraid of so many things.

People said she had potential.

But when she looked back at her life,

At all those things she was voted

“Most Likely” to do….

They were so much less than she’d imagined.

Accomplishments, in the eyes of the world,

Boxes checked, deadlines met, goals achieved.

Those things she could claim as her own.

But deep down, somehow, she knew

Those things had never really scared her.
