Epitome of Average

By Lifeless

I'm not smart enough to be a genius
I'm not handsome enough to be a model
I'm not dumb enough to be moron
I'm not witty enough to be a comedian
I'm not loved enough to be a husband
I'm not fast enough to be a runner
I'm not ugly enough to be an ogre
I'm not talented enough to be an actor
I'm not nerdy enough to be a geek
I'm not educated enough to be a teacher
I'm not skilled enough to be a tradesman
I'm not pious enough to be a saint
I'm not silly enough to be a clown
I'm not responsible enough to be a father
I'm not creative enough to be an artist
I'm not imaginative enough to be a writer
I'm not loyal enough to be a friend
I'm not mean enough to be a monster
I'm not rhythmic enough to be a lyricist
I'm not strong enough to be a fighter
I'm not accurate enough to be a sniper
I'm not lonely enough to be a loser
I'm not agile enough to be a thief
I'm not gullible enough to believe I can be any of these
But, I'm confident and happy
I'm the epitome of average
I'm not concerned enough to care
