Just a Loser

Just a loser,
A loser am I,
Everyone else is so superior,
I am so inferior, oh why, oh why?

My poems are dumb,
Theirs are great,
I love theirs,
But mine I hate.

I feel terrible,
I feel like a big nothing,
Oh how, Oh how,
I wish to be something.

I am a trout
In a pool full of angel fish,
They'll be awed at by little children,
And I'll end up on a paper dish.

They'll be actors,
With all that fame,
And I'll be stuck at home
Playing that dumb monopoly game.

Just a loser,
A loser am I,
Everyone else is so superior,
I am so inferior, oh why, oh why?

Welcome to this site. I know you will like it here. You're not as inferior as you think you are. This is not that bad of a poem. You have simple easy to read wording and good rhyming. This has no trouble in delivering its message to any reader. It takes knowledge and experience to write exceptional material. Nobody here is a Poet Laureate. In fact, this is better than a lot of other entries I've seen before.
