Ordinary is a blessing

they say  
the boughs that bear most hang lowest
you only see the fruit hanging low
never think of the stress on the arched back
 
trust me
ordinary is a blessing
 
no it is neither a case
of ungrateful
nor of the insatiable human nature
but an observation
 
just look
at any gifted
creative genius
struggling at
not fitting in
 
flawed is not for humans
it is a term for objects
for humans are simply
humans
with all their inherent 'qualities'
 
so to expect a human
to be flawless
is foolhardy
yet
you expect  
the gifted to be  
above failure
 
you couldn't be more human
