Not That Great

She stares up adoringly

Look back reassuringly

But take this warning from me


I'm not that great

I don't see what you see

Not that great

Not what you want me to be


I make mistakes

I lie awake

I have a million breaks


I'm not that great

I don't see what you see

Not that great

That I can guarantee


I'm not the best

So let me just suggest

That you don't be impressed


I'm not that great

I don't see what you see

Not that great

Not so cheerful, carefree


I'm not so strong

How do you think I belong?

I'm almost always wrong


I'm not that great

I don't see what you see

Not that great

Can't even claim I'm being me


I'm not unique

Not shiny or sleek

I'm really quite weak


I'm not that great

I don't see what you see

Not that great

Don't try to disagree


You think me smart

Not in matters of heart

Way past restart


I'm not that great

I don't see what you see

Not that great

Not good by a tiny degree


Sure, I'm not bad

If only by a tad

What do you think I had?


I'm not that great

I don't see what you see

Not that great

Won't you let me be?


I'm not that great

All filled of hate

This isn't your fate


I'm not that great

I don't see what you see

Not that great

You're too good for me



I guess this is just a writing day for me! I finally published Hawkfur's Death and now this! I don't really know what to say about this poem, feel free to ask me about anything you don't get. Have a great day!
