Extra Ordinary by Pamela O'Brien

Am I extraordinary?
Most definitely
But not in the way that most people think it means

You see, I'm average
The girl next door
And I'm not sure I ever really wanted to be anything more

Im completely mediocre
I have my talents and my faults
Can't rely on anybody else to pick me up when I fall

We are all "extra" ordinary
Because we are all normal human beings
And isn't that what the word ordinary means?

Wow, with all the nice comments I am beginning to feel extraordinary! I wanted to portray that we are all special without saying it cliche, so if it worked I am so very glad.
Thanks Guys!
