Muse
you were meant to be here, to exist
for someone to be better than,
there's always someone better than.
you were destined to be the inspiration
of someone younger, someone less than,
there is always someone less than.
if you can find the delicate balance
between all of these people, knowing
that the middle is the safest place
in the whole wide world of places.
be happy knowing that you can
always go forward, but never backward
unless you turn around.
