Piggy in the Middle

You're so insignificant,
so minuscule and unimportant.
You're worthless; you're not good enough for us,
for them
the ones who set the measuring stick.

Trapped in a transparent cage,
Viewing one-way only
Can't desecrate their vision with your body,
What's worse?
You can see everything you should've been.

Everything all day all night all the time no break
No time for rest no chance for breaks no more
Eternal punishment for being never up to the top
Of the measuring stick.

Jump a little higher, the stick moves too
Reach desperately
Stand as high on tiptoes
Fingers brushing the bottom,
Moves just out of reach

No good enough.

You're a worthless piece of crap.

Why can't you be what they want you to be?

How hard can it be?

They can do it why can't you?

You're minuscule and unimportant.

Stupid.

Never good enough never will be.

Who you kidding?

Get smart

You're not.
