Average

Average

Tell me
Why I never ranked up there
with the High School Hero
or the School's Prom Queen
maybe even the well known nerd
just someone to always be seen

You could say
I never stood out
My middle name's Average
and that's another word for
neutrality, peaceful state of
mind for all eternity

You could say
I just never showed
any signs of extraordinary
skills; and I'll tell you
that it's just a matter
of time; that my skills
are invisible, invisibility
is my speciality and if you
don't really understand, then
I guess I feel a bit sorry.

Let me make up
this so called poem
Let me compose
my thoughts live
Let me tell you
it doesn't take
extraordinary
skills or looks
to make you stand out
Let me tell you a story:

They say I'm Average
no doubt that's
just what I am
But Average is just
my middle name
My first and last
counts for something too
and even before they judge me
they have made a fatal error
they have not taken Me
into consideration
but they have taken
Average

And I'm not trying
my best to rank high up there
but I'm waiting
for that larvae of my soul
to eventually grow;
spread it wings, and
I will be
Average
No more.
