An exercise in inferiority

An exercise in inferiority


why me, why me,
why me?
why nudgest thou me?
neither brains nor brawn
do i possess
nor beauty nor bounty.
what do you see
that you move towards me?
why just me?
the choices are many
why not look somewhere else?
i am but a mangy knight
with a tired charger
and armor dented from many falls.
don't look here,
look the other way,
for there's nothing here.
