WHAT?

can you do what other's can't,

won't,

haven't already done?

set the bar higher instead of

striving

for previous

records set

by those

that have come before

cause i've been there

( clothes, shoes )

done that

( wine and dine )

and don't need

a repeat

( chocolates and roses )

show me the magic

in what is new

think outside

the box

and

show me the

originality

you have

...sure it may be rusty

cause baby

it's been easy thus far

but how about

you look above

common place

standards set by those

before me

cause

baby

i am far

from common place/

average

never

so why should i

expect

any less?

This for some reason reminds me of the poems of Nikki Giovanni. Something about the voice in this one. Maybe it was those last few lines that did it for me:

before me

cause

baby

i am far

from common place/

average

never

so why should i

expect

any less?
