she was going places

she was going places
she had everything under control
when it was all too much she added more
she was perfect
she knew what she wanted

or she thought she did

because
now
she's no longer perfect
she fears no one will love her
for who she is
a tangle of over-ambition

if she's no longer
the 
best
will they still care? 

will they cast her aside
when she can't
win
succeed
prove herself

if she can't be
somebody
