in stars that stare
at my lonely sleeping body
through a window
i am having a realization
in dreams.
the real world around me
has been distorted
by the pressure to be someone else
and I am failing
but so be it.
I wasn't supposed to succeed.

You should not succeed in being someone else.....you should succeed in only being yourself. This poem says that so well.....jo

"I wasn't supposed to succeed"

Sorry but I do not agree with you dear dear friend.

You may not be getting "there" as fast as you want but you are definitely not at a stand still.

You shall succeed, but the success might just be a bit different than you had originally planned.

always seeking joy, adventure and romance and wishing you find the same
