Inferiority Complex

always the last, always the slowest
always the least worthy, always the least respected
always the one to break things
always the one to displease others

trying his best, he could never catch up with his peers
running desperately far behind their footprints
he cannot kick a football properly no matter how hard he tries
neither can he stop bullies from kicking his backside

he may finish first in his favourite subject
but last in everything else
he may be excellent in debates
but absurdly terrible in arguments

when he keeps quite, others call him anti-soial
when he talks, everyone dislikes listening to him
when he keeps to himself, he is selfish
when he helped others, he is an offensive jerk

he says what he should not have said
he does everything he is not supposed to do
he succeeds where he is supposed to fail
he fails where he is supposed to succeed

slow coach, they jeer at him
the great sissy, they proclaim upon his entry
the teacher's pet, is his class alias
they never call him by his real name

no matter what happens, he is wrong
no matter the situation, he has failed
no matter the time, he is late
no matter where he aims, he misses

alone and homeless
depressed and sad
angry and frustrated
his emotions dissapear into him

he is odd
he is confusing
he is cold
he is different...
