For the time I have been breathing I have always been surpassed I’ve never been substantial Never have I been praiseworthy I have always been adequate, passable I’m always showed up by the adept I have the passion but not the aptitude I love to run, but I find myself falling behind I love to write, but I’ll never be considered an author or poet, I’ll never be Shakespeare I love to sing, but no one would gather to hear my voice I love scholastics, but I’ll never be Aristotle I feel lackluster, because I’ll never be pervaded with talent
