Insignificance

An insignificant detail

Just one star in the sky

One grain of sand

One truth between lies

Among the billions

I am but one,

I've nothing to add

Got nowhere to run

Expecting great things

They pressure me so,

They want so much

I've got nowhere to go

I'm not good enough,

But I'll try my best

My absolute hardest

To benefit the rest

I fall in the grass and

Stare at the sky

I lay there and wonder

Why they want me to try

Each small blade of grass

Leaves its mark on me

Each there for a purpose

An imprint, you see

Now when I die

I'll be lost in the race

Who will remember?

If I've left no trace

But what is my purpose

What mark am I to leave?

I don't know what I want,

What I want to achieve

Why am I so utterly

Insignificant?

I don't know what to do

I just need a hint

I have been lost

As someone who blends

Nobody fun, not

Caught up with the trends

I want to stand out

Jump 'way from the crowd

And shout at the millions

Be strong and loud

To tell them I'm different,

I'm better, I'm strong!

To tell them I'm right

And they can't make me wrong

But I am too quiet, too

Shy to relate

So I must be content

With my insignificant

fate
