I’m tired of greatness,

for it often means = you’re almost good enough.

Just a stroke past par:

a diamond in the rough.

I’m tired of greatness,

for it often means = someone else is better.

Just a class from graduation:

a cap without a letter.

I’m tired of greatness,

for it often means = there is nothing you can do.

Just a day from sixty-five:

a cop without a clue.

I’m tired of greatness,

for it often means = a bittersweet goodbye.

Just a kid who loves the fair:

a balloon that travels high.
