Title: Mediocrity - The curse of the game

Poem

Instructions


Of mediocrity, which is no great thing.
But I'm good at it, and that's a shame.
I'm not proud of my talent, but I've become the king,
I'm not proud to be a failure, but I'm winning the game.

 

And the rest, well, they faded, in mediocrity.


Of mediocrity, which is no great thing.


Of the most unworthy mediocrity.


Is no mediocrity: he is the greatest.


To mediocrity.


None of the above



But it's what I know, and that'll have to do.


But the semblance of greatness, which I could never achieve,


I'd rather be great, or at least passable.


It's just what I got.


But I'm good at it, and that's a shame.


None of the above



I'm good at everything, and that's a shame.


I've never wanted to be good at anything,


I'd rather be bad at something.


I'm good at a lot of things, and that's ok.


I could do it all day


None of the above



I'm good at it, and I shouldn't be.


My talent makes me feel like a fraud.


I'm good at a lot of things, and that's ok.


But I don't know what I've become.


I'm not proud of my talent, but I do like it.


None of the above



I'm not proud of my wealth, but I have it in abundance.


I'm not proud of my life, but I feel so lucky.


I'm not proud to be a failure, but I have become the best.


I feel like a thief, but I've become the lord.


I'm not proud of my life, but I have everything I need.


None of the above



Mid-mediocrity is a gift.


Mid-level is a trap.


Mediocrity is a famine.


Mediocrity is a curse.


Mediocrity is a curse not suited for greatness.


None of the above
