She Isn't

She Isn't

And sometimes, 
in the quiet moments,
she could hear herself think

About all the things she thought she was,
like worthy and loved,
and maybe even good enough

But even then she knew,
she is no one's first choice,
mostly not chosen at all

She was 'that' but never 'this,'
she was close
but never quite close enough

And in the quiet she understands,
it's her view that's wrong,
her mind that's playing tricks

Because if she were the things
that she thought she was,
things would be different

She would be 'this.'
She would be closest.
She would be loved.

But she is not.
