Above Average


Not enough to compete with the elite. You are Not a failure Not a success Not a competition Barely Above par Above standard Above ordinary Don’t worry, your future Will be adequate Will be okay Will be enough You can stop when you Have the newest Have the fastest Have the biggest Oh and don’t forget, you Need a spouse Need a child Need a house You are going to make us so proud! I don’t want Six figures Six houses Six cars I don’t need A corner office A corner in the market A cornered conscience I just want To be happy?
