The Ordinary

Survival of the fittest pfft!
Its about surviving for the purpose of existing rather than excelling.
Indifference engulfs me as I stop struggling and allow myself to be dragged down to the bottom. All around I see people flailing to keep their heads above water; I watch them struggle, half admiring, half mocking their determination.
Human beings are distinct from one another, this does not necessarily mean each of us is special too. Bitter pill this is, but swallow it one must. Not a term to be wildly sown about, Only a few are special, the rest are average. Some of us live all our lives trying to rise above the water and claim the 'special' tag for ourselves.
The others, the ordinary, plod on with their lives knowing true greatness will never be theirs..

Tell me grandma, tell me again how I'm special.

Show me the moon, stroke my hair.
Rock me gently to sleep and assure me that I will make it big someday..
