    BRILLIANT! I love this. I am out of nominations this week but it will get my vote on Monday.
    It seems to me that those with the least confidence in life are those who have the most right to brag. Portraying yourself as average is a very commendable trait - a complete lack of vanity. You could almost say it is a far from average thing to do. However, there is a fine line between modesty and an unhealthy lack of confidence; it seems you suffer from some of the latter.
    If your originality, kindness to others on this site and writing talent are anything at all to go by, Brenda, then just be modest but don't lack confidence!

    Take care and all the best,
    Ben

    Thanks to all of you! I will definitely work on the confidence- all of your kind words have really made my day! You guys rock! Your right about a fine line between modesty and no confidence - I grew up always thinking I never was all that, still carry some of that with me, add bad relationships, bad choices and it can bring you to a low level. This is why I love this site so much, it's given me a voice to express and grow. I hope you all have an awesome day! Brenda

    This is superb Brenda. How many of us live different lives in our heads I wonder, instead of showing the world how proud we are to be ourselves.
    Very well written. :)

      Thank you Cassie! You hit the nail on the head on how we dream of what we want to be vs what real life is. I sometimes have these crazy dreams and laugh so hard because I'm things I would never be in a million years. Take care-Brenda

    Brenda this is a lovely poem with great comparisons. Life is made special by what you feel inside and the very fact your poem tries to play down your talents is so endearing and from what I have come to know of you from this site I would say you don't do yourself justice. You are very talented and I love this poem. Anyone who has the capacity to dream has the capacity to do wonderful things in my eyes. Take good care and keep writing Milly xx

      Awww, thanks Milly! I once had a dream I was on America's Top Model, it was hilarious! My husband is always asking me what I ate before I go to bed because of these crazy dreams. I really appreciate your kind words.Take care-Brenda
