All I Am

Just a scratch in a sketch,
A drop in the sea,
A grain of sand on a beach,
A leaf on a tree.
A hair on a head,
A blade of grass in a yard,
A lesson learned in life,
A step walked so far.

A piece of a puzzle,
For no one to solve,
A moment before,
When a step was a crawl.

A word in a chant,
A tear that you cry,
A stone among thousands
That mark who has died.
A drop of rain in a storm,
A voice in a hurricane,
A single beat of a heart,
One nerve in your pain.

That's all I am.
I shouldn't have to fight a battle I'll never win, just to lose those I've never had.

  • Very well written. I like it! I like all the annalogies!
    The only thing I enjoy is having no feelings....being numb rocks!

    And I won't make the same mistakes
    (Because I know)
    Because I know how much time that wastes
    (And function)
    Function is the key

    Adolescence in essence is all about trust.
