Not That Great

But, what if I am not as great as you say? What if I can’t turn the grey sky into a beautiful blue? What if I can’t make the ocean waves turn? Or paint the sky with stars and hang up the night’s moon? What if I can’t make the sun emit vibrant lights? Or turn the neverending darkness into a glowing light? What if I am not as great as you claim? What if all I can do is step on the ground and turn green grass into something dead and brown? You say I look at broken things like I can make them new but really baby, there is nothing I can do. You say you admire me, but I know soon you’ll get tired of me; you will look at me in the eyes and say “You aren’t as great as they claim.”
