I'm just a rock in the gutter pushed aside by the screeching tires of life

of course you're better than me
I'm fucking worthless

you can draw better
write better
sing better
and you're oh so much prettier
I'm pathetic

but what did I expect?
all my life, someone has always been better than me
keeping the spotlight permanently trained someplace else
...
aren't I selfish
wishing to be better than the others

forgive me
for I have sinned
not that anyone noticed anyway
the attention was quickly diverted away from me
but it's okay
I like it better when I'm not there
neither black nor white, but somewhere inbetween
.
just grey matter
that doesn't matter
