Mediocrity

 A drop floating on an endless sea

an urge to be more than mediocrity 

sweat augmented degree upon degree

touching others flow through psychology

Spoken words at a university

many others I tried to copy

no hope in a lock step army

art, dance, music no legacy

Locked stagnant, a hidden key

turn the tumblers with originality

drops of rain diversity

An ocean home found in poetry

"Locked stagnant, a hidden key
turn the tumblers with originality"

A hidden key, one that exists in all of us. We all have something original to offer,if we delve deep enough, long enough. As you summed it upso beautifully, we find our ocean in our poetry.

Dear Soren, this poem is special in its message on mediocrity and how one can rise above it. The first line is awesome. Drops floating in an endless sea make for such a profound image of the struggle to float against the general tide. The second verse too underlines the lack of options for those not well-versed with other art forms. Then it all comes together in the concluding verse. We have our answers in poetry.

Wonderfully written, my friend!
