"Offstep"
What does it mean to stand out?
To be that one person in a mass of thousands,
one step behind while everyone is two steps ahead,
to feel the wrinkles of your shirt ripple against your chest
Oh just wondering things
Questions that can't be answered
Dreams that seem impoosible
Wishes for invisible shooting stars
Just doing things
Working hard without complaint
A single note
Shatters the room
Piercing, reverberating
Through the soul
Within a single heartbeat
Hundreds of voices join in sync
I am merely an average girl with a passion for fashion,
Photography is life,
And so are filters.
Realistically, I am a simple girl without filters,
Or maybe, a beauty-queen who needs a little edit.
I don’t know if I’ll be remembered
As a great anything or a terrible something
More likely I’ll be forgotten in time
Reduced to great-great-great grandma
And a footnote in my family's history
I am inadequate.
(is that an SAT word?)
adj. lacking the quality or quantity required; insufficient for a purpose
In a world chock full of Merit Scholars, and teenage charity founders, and tech wizards,
Nothing
Poetry means absolutely nothing
To me
Do I respect it?
Yes
Do I understand it?
At times
Do I feel it is of importance at all?
Well of course
But as for what it means
I never was an average kid.
While the other brothers workin' in their savage cliques,
I was workin' on my grade point averages.
My heart feels empty and poor
I put on a mask for my friends
You know what’s inside,
And yet I still doubt
Your wonder and all that you are
If I were to respond in the opposite manner,
regardless of the topic, regardless of the glamour,
how do you think you would respond,
when in general you are the one to play along?
I don’t think this is fair,
