Mediocrity

 Mediocrity says "love me, love my dog", 

and I agree with this stipulation,

not because it's common sense,

but because I had my match made in heaven already.

Brilliance has had the audacity to ask me for a dance 

a couple of time by now,

and every time that I've refused,

I see him dancing with girls who refused the state of denial.

But denial is the safe zone,

as 'reaching up to my full potential'

will not be

'living the only life I've got',

which does not mean that I don't believe in my religion

that boasts about reincarnation,

but it means my religion allows me to question anything.

I've tried to question my relationship with mediocrity 

and often I've met denial 

along with certain lame appearances of fear and laziness,

which means that the answer to my rightful question is

'safe zone is denial'.

Mediocrity makes me think in my mother tongue 

and write in a foreign language.

It makes me go to poetry slams without learning my poems.

It makes me understand how morality between good and bad doesn't exist.

It makes me feel 'almost happy' all the time.

I face mediocrity as I face life -

one day it will end, but not today.
