Participation Trophy
Not every idea is a winner (including this one)

These thoughts, these thoughts
So tired of these thoughts
Always wanting attention
Crying look at me, look at me
Look what I can do
When, Let’s be honest
They are mediocre sketches at best
But
You’re not allowed to say that
It’s not constructive
Not good for their mental health
What are they expecting?
These scribbles, these outlines of an idea
A participation trophy? A ribbon?
Not everything can be a top story
For my vitriol and honesty
For putting them in their place
They should be grateful
Grateful, I say!
I could have followed the sage’s advice
And just killed off my darlings
About the Creator

A happy guy that tends to write a little cynically. Just my way of dealing with the world outside my joyous little bubble.

I only ever competed in the Everyone’s a Winner competitions at the annual Agricultural Show! Otherwise, my lack of talent left me empty handed 😵💫.
I feel this. Well done!
