adequate

04/26/2009

you are spectacularly adequate
the best of mediocre
perhaps not gold or silver
but a participation ribbon.
you are purely deceiving
to fake at anything but
spectacularly adequate.
though, don't fret,
they will catch on anyways
it's hard to hide such a great
lukewarm presence.
at the best of times,
you are invisible.
at the worst,
your presence.
why become preoccupied
with attempts at achievements
you're destined for a life
of underwhelming.
although it may seem otherwise
i imagine you feel it coming
the emptiness before
they all stop to realize
that the most extra
ordinary
is not worth much time at all.
why exert yourself or your heart
on something so unappreciative
and so unimpressive.
summer is the easiest season
in which to disappear.
so make yourself less heard
less seen
less known
better.
you spectacularly adequate
girl.
