Dont quite know what to call this...

Everything Ive learned I will someday forget,
Thats just the way it goes,
Ive learned that I cant keep on my feet,
Nonetheless my toes,
I wish I was someone different,
A genious artist maybe,
Then I could show the world,
Just who I thought I could be,
But no, I am just me,
Even you can see that,
Nothing speacial in the least,
Just an average,
Just a steady line,
Never rising to the top,
Cause the top just isnt mine,
I try too hard for what I earn,
I read too much for what I learn,
I pick it up and drop it,
I drop it and forget,
It wasnt me who started,
Its not me who should end,
Im here for only one season,
Of which will come to an end,
All I can learn is all I should,
Should I learn nothing less?
If Im not trying for myself,
Am I really trying my best?
Should I be the one to silence,
The music in my head?
Or should I be the one to let it out,
And show the world instead?
I wish I had the answer,
I wish I had the time,
I wish I had so many things,
I wish they all were mine,
But all I have is all Ive got,
I should ask for nothing more,
Ill do my best before Im done,
Hold the notes once more.
