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?
