Not Beautiful Enough

I will never be more than "cute," so I must be the smartest.
I will never be more than "attractive," so I must be the wittiest.
I will never be more than "interesting," so I must be the best informed.
I will never be more than "present," so I must be the most passionate.

I've spent 55 years working hard to be smart, witty, informed, passionate, and I have exhausted myself and those around me in the process.

It would have been less costly to simply have accepted my sameness and to have lived a more ordinary life.
