Compared to You

Compared to you, a being of light, I am dark, and morbid and cold.

Compared to you, an intelligent human, I am dull and silly and dumb.

Compared to you, a gorgeous appearance, I am careless and a bit of a slob.

Compared to you, an excellent speaker, I am slurry and cannot say a thing.

Compared to you, a storybook writer, I am talentless and out of a job.

Compared to you, a fabulous artist, I am without prayer.

Compared to you, a wonderful scholar, I am stupid and incompetent.

Compared to you, a wealthy individual, I am just plain and without promise.

Compared to you, a calculated person, I am careless and throw all caution to the wind.

Compared to you, a fantastic lover, I am inexperienced and shy and held back.

Compared to you, a warm hearted human, I am a snake with black acid within me.

Compared to you, a heavenly person, I am a demon, a devil, a monster.

Compared to you, a perfect being, I am flawed and very imperfect.

Compared to you, always so sure of yourself, I falter.

Compared to you, always so composed, I love much too much.

Compared to you I fade in the background.

[Coyote Poetry]

Strong poem. The problem with this world. We try to be something we don't want. Each of us is special in our own way. Poem is powerful and makes your point. Sometime better to fade away and enjoy the real pleasures in a life.
