Ordinary

by Ruel Duhaylungsod

You don't have to be afraid, You don't have to be weak, No need to be anxious, No need to worry.

I'm not asking for your interest, Just being free, not being tethered. I've never wanted to hold the star in the sky. I've never wanted to shine from the spotlights.

I'm not special like them, Just a monotonous kind of melodrama, The simple fondness with vibrant joy, Echoing lone deep within.

I'm not pricey nor valuable, I'm just common, an ordinary person. I only have a body and a heart that I can offer. I'm ordinary, nothing special, nothing grand.
