The Mask of Mediocrity


there are those here amongst us that hide

behind a mask of mediocrity

too frightened to even show us there own faces

so one dimensional in thought


it would be wrong to condemn or criticize

why they choose to hide

telling stories of their own fantasyland fantasies

real life scares the hell out of them


when it all comes down to the end

we are all wearing masks

we are all mediocre in averages of totality

good at one thing terrible on another


good hard workers reliable to the firm

great at making love

but terrible at giving true forgiving love

committed to their own world


and me I do not choose to hide my face

but mediocrity at its finest

still striving to reach that art of true forgiving love

trying to remove that mask

and by the way the real world scares the hell out of me too!
