I wasn't pretty enough to be prom queen.
I didn't have enough school spirit to join the the student council.
I wasn't coordinated enough to play a sport.
I wasn't smart enough to strike up a conversation with the kids in AP classes,
Yet I was too smart for the kids who were "too cool for school".
I wasn't straightforward,so my crush didn't notice me.
I was too shy and awkward to be popular.
But as I walked out of my high school for the very last time,
I felt like I was able to breathe again.
What I had found was by far more precious than anything Hollywood could depict:
I have my whole life ahead of me.
I can start over and be who I want to be.
That's the beauty of a clean slate.
It's bittersweet, but I think that it will all be worth it in the end.
