• Only good never great
    Either too early or too late

    I explain away my faults not meet them head on
    I hide them and hope that one day they'll just be gone

    Only good never great
    I love to love but too often hate

    I mean no offence but my pride I must defend
    Although it seems I often mix them up my friend

    Only good never great
    Too afraid to leave the gate

    I have many fears from spiders to the dark
    But most of all I fear failure, the unseen mark

    Only good never great
    Always trying to clean the slate

    I mess up too often, too often do I fall
    Why can't we be perfect, without one fault among us all.

    Only good never great
    Too faithless to blame it all on fate

    To others my morals may seem sound
    But I never test them for fear they may tumble to the ground

    Now I'm almost done so let me reiterate
    This poem is only good never great
