I tried SO hard to fit in
That I ended up falling out
I drifted about
In the outside
The outskirts
I defined my worth
Through others eyes
I grew to despise
My existence
I wasn’t living
But watching others live
While I fell through the cracks
Colliding with set backs
Like bumper cars
I resented routine
While craving chaos
Bc I didnt know there was
A chance I could create consistency
For myself
I waved my resiliency
Like a badge of honor
Without putting in the work
To pave the path
To set me up for consistent success
The mundane magic of doing
The same thing
No longer
Expending endless ammounts of energy
Treading envy
And regret
Like water
Today I am one of many
I lean into the crowd
And in doing so I have found
Common humanity,
Familiarity –
I stopped fighting
And the gap closed
I found harmony
How extraordinary
To be ordinary
How awesome to be Average
