"Bokeh"

Never good enough, it seems
Another missed connection
I struggle to make
You create with ease
And all the things I want, so far
From me
But never seemed to bother you
No they were always in your reach

So if I spend my time regretting
All the things that I am not
I'll never find out who I am
And if everyone is just a piece
A smaller part of a grander scheme
Some of us just blend into the background

Nothing that I try, redeems
So hard to see what to do
When you're just a spark
And others gleam
If I could just reflect some light
Oh please
With a little self reflection
Something more than incomplete

So if I spend my time regretting
All the things that I am not
I'll never find out who I am
And if everyone is just a piece
A smaller part of a grander scheme
Some of us just blend into the background

When all I have seems commonplace
And they defame what I deem great
No it isn't a mistake
To feel that weight
Because the pieces that we are
As numerous as stars
From far away, from far away

Easy to forget
The light
Like a distant fire
Burning in the night
But as a multitude we gleam
As a little part in a bigger scene
In the vastness of the sky
We're all bound
To blend into the background
