The world is full of alpha males
And I am very beta,
Or gamma.. or even upsilon

So I became a poet, where
Aggressiveness was not
A prerequisite

I am not a conquerer; I
am a helper, at best, and
A layabout, at worst

I am an accompanist
Not a soloist; I
Play rhythm,
Not lead

I sometimes
Wish I could
Conform to
Type

But
don’t
we
all?
