Extra Ordinary

I'm not smart or pretty
Or particularly cool
Or funny or dashing
Nor do I stand out in school

I blend with the background
Another disfigured dot
With nothing interesting
As the main story goes on.

No trophies or medals 
Don't glitter my shelves
I don't spread happiness
Or inspire young selves

I'll probably struggle through college
If I even pass the boards
I might end up homeless
With a stray dog and cardboard

I'm lazy, with no inspiration
I simply go with the flow
I lack a sense of direction
And my mind is impeccably slow.

I'm not the worst
Nor the best
I scrape by every test
I don't take part in contests
I shy away at fests

I'm remarkably unremarkable
Extraordinarily ordinary
I'm no author or poet
I'm just me...
