Only Mediocre

[x_satire_x]

I'm only mediorce
At extraordinary things, that is

See I ain't best at nuthin'

Can't draw or paint real pretty

Never was any good at math

And even though I got slave feet

Running track just wasn't for me

I can't build houses or boats

I'm a small girl, but not small enough to model,

Just small enough not to be able to do anything too physical

As someone once put it...

My only talent is runnin' my mouth

And they pretty much got it right

But even talking ain't my thing

Cause there are times when I don't wanna talk to nobody

Just wanna keep my thoughts to myself

And there's all this talk from the extraordinary

About how hard it is to be extraordinary

To be born with your dreams at your fingertips

See even though they still got to find the means to reach

Their dreams...

At least they got something realistic to dream about

If I started dreamin' about being anything but mediocre,

At anything exdtraordinary,

I'd be living in a fantasy...

And so I've come to the conclusion

That I'll always be mediocre at extraordinary things

But still there's hope for the mediocre

The average

The regular

The run-of-the-mill

And everyone unextraodrinary...

Or at least there's still some hope for me...

I can be extraordinary at mediocre things

All that really matters is that all of my loved ones are happy

So if I can be an extraordinary daughter, wife, and mother

I will have done enough

Instead of looking for things to show

For the work I've done

My lifetime's work will be reflected through

The joy I've brought to the ones I love

And the legacy I've left behind.
