The Mask of Mediocrity

there are those here amongst us that hide
behind a mask of mediocrity
too frightened to even show us there own faces
so one dimensional in thought

it would be wrong to condemn or criticize
why they choose to hide
telling stories of their own fantasyland fantasies
real life scares the hell out of them

when it all comes down to the end
we are all wearing masks
we are all mediocre in averages of totality
good at one thing terrible on another

good hard workers reliable to the firm
great at making love
but terrible at giving true forgiving love
committed to their own world

and me I do not choose to hide my face
but mediocrity at its finest
still striving to reach that art of true forgiving love
trying to remove that mask
and by the way the real world scares the hell out of me too!
