the star is not perfect

there are some people who want to be
in the center of the circle
they want to be the star of the show
the pick of the litter
the popular
in style
funny
person
but
i don't
i want to be always on the edge
watching
noticing
seeing
and
looking
knowing
hearing
keeping all secrets locked in my mind
hearing all rumors but not spreading them
keeping my opinion locked in my heart
while the star of the show dazzles on
but i SEE them
i NOTICE their insecurities
i will always know
that the star is not perfect
