A wish for some sort of talent

My heart is green with envy.
The pride in myself fades more faster than I can make more.
There is always someone better,
Who shows that what I think is a talent I have,
is nothing but an illusion.
Compliments seem wasted on me,
when clearly the person giving them
can do everything I can but better.
I'm just average or maybe less.
Nothing I have can make me one of the best people,
with the many of others
that sit above me.

I feel this way a lot when there's always somone better. But! at least there's always someone with less talent too! keep moving up, it gives you something to strive for..

In my opinion nobody is better than anybody on this site. We all have our own uniqueness and deferences.. Nobody on here is better than you' i don't even think i am better than anyone else on here.. I just know that i have my own unique way of writing and i know either way i know i will have peeps on here who like my poetry and peeps who don't care much for them.. You have your own unique way of writing you you are very good at it.. you even did a wonderful job at this piece of work.. keep it up*smiles*

like 'loveformusicandpoetry1790'
so adequately stated,
this is a lovely piece of work
(as are your other poems) (;

and no ones writting is better
than someone elses
it's simply different

you're very good at what you do
and you should never doubt that :]]

Isn't writing poems a talent?
