I don't feel I've got the knack, the spark, the 'gee-whizz, she's got it!' to say I can sparkle
I don't have the 'good' to be enough.

Amateur

They say I have talent
But it seems I just happen to waste it

Watch it go past in the breeze,
or **** past like the rushing wind

Instead I'm just staring straight back at it while it waves away at me
I'm just too busy living and breathing to take any notice

Oops.
Have I just grown up?
