Accolade to the Average People

I got the idea after a failed interview. There reason for not accepting me was that I was too average and not what they were looking for.

Here's to the invisible

neither losers nor ones who stand out and succeed.

We're not quite miserable

and yet not quite happy either.

Here's to the people who slip in and out of the crowds;

seen by a few, ignored by many like you're looking through still shrouds.

We are an underestimated people,

picked over in a barrage of resumes and interviews

and in no way are we equal. 

Everyone comes with their own quirks,

everyone  bursting with dynamic personalities and endless possibilities. 

Here's to the jerks who look over the average people.

No one knows what a soul may hold,

in fact we are a lot less quiet and much less cold

than we appear.

Yet, we continue day by day going about our average business.

Some of us go to a steeple to pray that some day we will amount to be 

more than just average people.
