waiting

so i'm sitting here and after what happened tonight i realized that you'll always be prettier
and thinner
and happier
and older
and faster
and more outgoing
and smarter than me
and i'll always be uglier
and fatter
and sadder
and younger
and slower
and shyer
and dumber than you.
this isn't what you, or anyone else has told me
i just see it in the actions of people around me
you've always got a guy calling you, while i'm sitting at home taking the messages while you're out with a guy or one of your friends. and ive learned to live with this for so many years, but it's just hard to live in your shadow. so someone thinks im cute, but then they see you and forget about me. and all ive heard my whole life is to wait until i'm older. well, ive been waiting for so long and nothing has happened. so how much longer? because it seems like you have everything, and im sitting here wishing i was you....
