Average

by Court   Jun 3, 2005


I'm just an average person,
I'm not special,
I'm not anything wonderful,
I'm just simply....ME.

I'm not pretty,
I'm neither thin,
I'm definitely not tall,
I'll never be a model.

I can't sing,
I can't play the guitar,
I don't even know note names.
I certainly won't be a musician.

I definitely don't have any qualities
That set me apart from others,
I only have my "plain-jane" life,
And that's all it will ever be.

The one and only thing that I have
That makes me feel special,
Is that he once loved me,
But now his love is gone.

His love was that one thing
That could have set me apart,
But now that it's gone,
I'll just go on with my non-special life.

His love is the one thing,
That could have inspired me to be better.
But it's also the one thing,
That has caused me to be nothing,
Because it is now gone.

**hey guys just a lil note....this isnt a TOTALLY true poem. I am a musician and im not really this hard on myself....its just i was having a "down" moment and wasnt in the best of moods....and its just what i thought of....i do still feel sorta this way just not totally....just to let u know, cause people keep telling me to not be so hard on myself....dont worry im not!!!**

***hey everyone....comment on this.....i really think it needs something but i cant think what it needs....please help me and tell me what it needs to make it better...thanks!!!****

    This was a really good poem, and whether it was completely true or not always remember, being yourself is the best thing to be! No matter what you can or can't do, how you look or how you don't. People like you for you! Not something that you're not! Keep on writing! And always remember YOU ARE YOU, WHO YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO BE!!!

    Hey, the poem over-all was really good, but it's just kind of...this might not be the right word but, drab. You need to throw in some more metaphors...and like someone said above me you might consider re-writing it once you've moved on a little...you asked for suggestions and i could rewrite the whole thing for you but that wouldn't be the right thing to do...lol...but for the first stanza you have

    I'm just an average person,
    I'm not special,
    I'm not anything wonderful,
    I'm just simply....ME.

    I would have it something like

    I'm just an average person,
    not so special or unique,
    I'm not something fabulous,
    I'm just simply...ME

    That way you kinda break up the "I'm" that starts every line and the "fabulous" instead of "wonderful" kinda spruces it up...and I think the word "something" flows better than "anything." The extra words in line 2 improve the rhythm a little...just stuff like that.

    Like it's been said, the whole thing could probably be re-written to put some more excitment into it...

    OKay I feel like this is a really mean comment and I feel bad, but I'm just trying to critique! I really did like the poem it just needs a little more, sorry if I sound offensive!

    Keep up the great work babe,
    xoxo-Sierra Rae
