The epitome, of working in the shadows
never having the spotlight, or acclaim
realizing you may fade, to grey
with no dogs in the hunt, or game
Kibitzing the edges and corners
making edits, of heroes' ploy
feeling all the pains and tortures
not sharing in, all the hard earned joy
Greatness is as greatness does
you know within your deepest soul
you've done and did everything you could, or can
even if, nobody ever knows

not sharing in, all the hard earned joy
Greatness is as greatness does
you know within your deepest soul
you've done and did everything you could, or can
even if, nobody ever knows
I've done it, do it, live it, and I'm ok with it :D
