Average​

There’s something I want to confess,
Something I need to get off of my chest,
It’s that, all I ever wanted was to feel as good as the rest,
Not to feel greater, or worthier or even the best,
But just to feel on par with them, would make me feel blessed.
And to feel this way seems like it’s become my life’s quest,
To the point that I may well have become obsessed,
In trying to feel like I’m on par with the rest.
This seems to have unwittingly made life a contest,
And since it’s a competition I won’t win, I’ve become depressed,
But I’m bound by the fear of rejection to always invest,
In the pursuit of proving that I’m equal, and not less.
In this regard I’ve sacrificed much, but to no success.
In this pursuit I’ve pushed myself much, but made little progress.​

I felt the earth bring me to life
rooted from the ground up
nourished in soil that was rich
but the earth has now brought me down
and my life is a tundra
because I'm alone
I am without a person to turn to and
it aches
I'm sorry that I'm mean
and I'm sorry that I'm full of problems
but I'm not sorry for everything I have given
to you
to everyone
how could an earth so great
pull me down to a level
of sadness and despair
I'm alone
and it's my fault
there's only one person to hate
and it's myself
