My interpretation of this poem is that often people are afraid to be extraordinary. Sometimes we are uncomfortable doing things alone so we depend on others to do things with you and to share your ideas with. To me it also means that we often do not want to outshine others because we might hurt their feelings or make them feel dumb.
But this poem inspires me to do things for myself and to stop being dependent on others to do things with me. It also inspires me to let my imagination run wild and not be afraid to express my ideas because they might be something great. The spotlight should not be a fear but a position to strive for if you want success. You should never let others decide what you can and can not do. Our minds are so powerful and if you really set your mind to something, you are capable of achieving great things in life.
