why does average feel like a word people lower their voice for like it’s something fragile or worse something embarrassing why does it sound like a life half-lived why do we say “don’t be average” the way we say “don’t waste yourself” as if they mean the same thing why does failure get remembered held up dissected given meaning while average slips through fingers without even leaving a trace why is being the worst still a kind of presence a mark a stain proof that you touched something but being average feels like standing in a room full of people and slowly realizing no one would notice if you left why does that thought sit heavier than the fear of falling apart why do we chase extremes like they’re proof of living as if pain or brilliance are the only languages that count why is quiet mistaken for empty why is steady mistaken for small why does “enough” sound like surrender who taught us that we must either overflow or disappear who decided the middle was a place people go when they stop trying because i look at it now and it doesn’t feel empty it feels full in a quieter way like a heartbeat you don’t notice until it stops like breath coming and going without asking to be seen maybe average is not the absence of something maybe it is the absence of breaking maybe it is staying when everything around you demands you to become louder bigger more maybe it is choosing to exist without turning yourself into a performance

Why is average something I should apologize for?

You ever get tired of being average? not brilliant, but not bad either just hovering in between somewhere... Not academically gifted but you aren't stupid either, you know how to write but not enough to be called a poet, you can draw a decent sketch but beside others, it's always almost ...you hate the number 50 'cause it sits in the middle. It reminds you of you as fate would have it, you were born in the middle too. And you know, all your life you have been just that with all your things not bad but not good enough either, just.... Average.

How I wish to be like the gems online, The girls and guys, the aesthetically pleasing How I wish to be more than average, To be wanted, liked Like the blooming flowers on the table, Or the dresses on the shelves To be sought after by boys and girls, To be invited To have smaller problems, less issues, To have privilege, opportunities, To be cared for and looked at How I would keep pictures and portraits How I wouldn’t avoid cameras, mirrors, How I would embrace it, express myself To be pretty like everyone else, Like the gemstones online To shine without struggle, To not be so lonely, limited, withdrawn

When you compare, you're average. When you compete, you're average. When you're rewarded, it's average. When you hope, you’re average. Nobody writes about you. Nobody hates you. Nobody loves you. Nobody knows you. You are just an option for the cosmos. You were born average. You will die as average. You are treated as a sin in this cosmos.

a dog pees on a tree, so what, that’s average. a baby has spaghetti around its mouth, pfft, that’s basic. a woman living below you beats on the ceiling with a broomstick and tells you to “keep it down!” big deal, that’s common. pulling your member out of your pants and stroking it violently with excitement, hey, that’s just everyday living. but, seeing you sitting there on that park bench, one leg crossed over the other, with your dog and your book and your sunglasses while tears of joy stream down your face after something you just read well now… you don’t see that everyday.

I went looking for revenge I only found the edge Of good and evil Teetering on the steeple What side will it fall? That's anybody's call The victorious write the history Leaving moral a pointless remedy The loser is always the enemy But how often does victory, Align with the righteous? Glory is told despite this The innocent pay the price Propaganda paints it nice So the mindless can sleep easy But what's that mean for you and me? Simply put we all fall in line Regardless if yours starts or ends in a different place than mine ©2024

Maybe I give myself too much credit: that I am good, I am doing better, I am great at my craft, that I have something to show everyone when in reality I am just average at best. What else do I show of myself that is worth a praise more than just “you did your best”? How bare do I have to be for people to pay attention to me? Maybe I am just having a bad day that has been going on for 182 days. But at the end of it all, I am just a mere performance worth 59% rotten tomatoes, it’s more than half, but barely fresh. At least I did my best? What other ******** do I have to say to myself so I don’t end up crying with a blade in my hand? It seems that trying is just never going to get me far, and the best I can give everyone is this: the mediocre poet who dreamed too high and fell so deep she died on sea. She had wings too weak and dreams too heavy that the only place she could reach was the clouds of 9, where she could only see from a few feet afar before she landed and died. That is the only thing I can offer.

I'm not the better half, I'm not the worst either. Not that we are equal or same You are just the best and the worst, The first and the last. I just lie between those two extremes, Never to surpass my lower and upper limits. Have you wondered what average feels like? What insignificant or common tastes like? Always being at the buffering state, Neither acid nor base, Neither hot nor cold, Just lukewarm. No distinct shape or colour Not white or black, Just grey. This is my state of mind at the moment! Not evil, not good. Just there, Lost in the shadows of time and space. Weren't we all born special? Aren't we all perculiar? Is this just my speciality? Never to be specially special but to be specially normal. Counted as part the masses. Never in the spotlight, But the one behind the spotlight. Do you care to think of me? Jack of all trades they say, Master at none It seems hard to understand my plight; Difficult to comprehend the sight. You look down on me from that height And you say, "YOU MUST BE ALITTLE ALIGNED TO THE LEFT OR RIGHT"

I just lie between those two extremes, Never to surpass my lower and upper limits. Have you wondered what average feels like? What insignificant or common tastes like? Always being at the buffering state, Neither acid nor base, Neither hot nor cold, Just lukewarm. No distinct shape or colour Not white or black, Just grey. This is my state of mind at the moment!

She wasn't particularly pretty, Just a plain, average girl in high school. She wasn't particularly brilliant, Though no one would call her a fool. She wasn't very athletic, Preferring to sit in the shade. She wasn't very artistic; Her drawings were all left unpraised. But she wasn't going to block out the cry: That though childhood may have been tough, She must stop defining herself by her "wasn't", And learn, what she was, was enough.

In this Ordinary Swoon by Michael R. Burch In this ordinary swoon as I pass from life to death, I feel no heat from the cold, pale moon; I feel no sympathy for breath. Who I am and why I came, I do not know; nor does it matter. The end of every man’s the same and every god’s as mad as a hatter. I do not fear the letting go; I only fear the clinging on to hope when there’s no hope, although I lift my face to the blazing sun and feel the greater intensity of the wilder inferno within me.

I don’t stand out because my clothes are on point I am not memorable because my intellect is one of a kind My speech and my gait wouldn’t be considered the best And there’s nothing the world I can do better than the rest My song's just simple enough to be overlooked My presence often dismissed, rarely brooked Ordinary are my thoughts, nothing ever so divine My remembrance but a modest dot in the elaborate design I am not so lousy either as to draw a lot of attention Just adequate enough to probably win consolation While my story may be generic, familiar and trife I am appropriately average to be living my finest life

I'm just an average person, Capable of only being average. Doing only average things. And average is never ideal. Especially in the world we live in. So I gave up. I gave up on being average. I don't care if people see me as ordinary or ideal. I care about how I see myself. And I want to see the best version of me

There is no great mystery to life. We do not all have some greater purpose Or some all important place in this world. Some of us are just here. This huge pressure of making a difference, The gnawing need to make an impact, To not be forgotten when we turn to dust Is an all consuming anxiety There is no riddle to the beating of your heart, No conspiracy to the air in your lungs, You are breathing, your heart is beating, and you exist. Sometimes that is all there is to it We are not all destined for greatness And the realisation that we are one of the many, Is more horrifying than any else.

you're not pretty like all of these other girls that you see on the tv and in magazines but who you are is so unique more than those other girls could ever hope to be

Here's the thing about AVERAGE: its average I wanted to reach higher to be stronger, i wanted to show every one that i am MORE. So i became more, I trained HARDER, i pushed for more, and in return... I had NOTHING. i couldn't love myself because i was never enough, i forgot the feeling of a smile, i became empty, because i forgot who i was, and eventually i stopped trying to be more. Because, was Average really that bad? If average is yourself than maybe you should strive for average.
