(Extra)ordinary

 (Extra)ordinary

The frivolity of ordinary days 

And my average personalities 

We are 

So much older now 

But without careers

Fill my dreams with vision

I’m weak at the knees

Weary from fever and aches 

Faint from unmoving days

Putting on weight 

Disproportionately 

While the rest of my body

Wastes away

Welcome to the crisis 

Of an average life 

Is there really freedom

in being 

just ordinary 

Is there really freedom 

in accepting 

somewhere in between

below-

and above-average 

living
