see, what confuses me
is that i'm most often kept
on the outside
of your shining brilliance
i don't get to experience
the marvelous rays of
your genius
and that's alright, i suppose
i instead get to glimpse
from the outside
when i get the chance
and i've settled for that
standing out and looking in
is where i’ve grown accustomed
it’s okay, don’t feel bad
i’m used to it
( it is now a case of the day-to-day
rather than the out-of-the-ordinary. )
it surely isn’t your fault
that someone like me is
so plain, that your greatness
overshadows my own
mediocrity.
