Mediocrity

I know I'm only average

And I don't want to reach for the stars;

I'm happy to take part in battles

And leave the others to win the wars.

I don't want to be the wave

That crashes noisy on the shore,

When the water quietly lapping

Can wear away so much more.

I don't want to start my group,

Win a prize or act tough.

If I can make a little difference

In my world's corner, it's enough.
