I begin again only to fall again
trying my best to end up average
because when you're barely mediocre
you find

There's no talent in being a jack of all trades
because the master of one is shining
in the brightest spotlight
and your light
is barely bright enough to see
during dusk but

A single star will shine during night
and suffocating beneath barrels
is hardly worth the lack of energy
it takes to be apathetic

You only need one
person to make you feel like
you've become just a little brighter but
you've always shone that much
it was just hard to realize
that the shadows were your own

Make being mediocre so much more and
an average everyday routine
a rut so deep you don't want to climb out.
I like my sayings and well-known quotes and the occasional cliche.
