Still Waiting....

I knew I was destined for greatness

the war hero

the person who stepped in front of the bus to push away a child

the robbery hostage who sacrificed herself to save the others

the starving mother who fed every morsel to her children

but crises like that never came up

in my life

My life was completely ordinary and I was muddling along

I was mediocre, and there was no greatness to be had

So I just sat and waited for that great moment to find me

Just like this poem was destined for greatness

but it never happened

THE END
