Grain of Sand
It's the ocean's sea surging from rip tide to
steady, regardless our world ignoring ideas.
The elusive thought creates ripples
reaching out further discovering nothing
---- ---- ----
Why do we need post emphasizing that we
must love, understand, and forgive? Then
see someone struggling while quietly
murmuring, better you than me
---- ---- ----
Seems like a loner realizes first, a simple
grain could be unique. Even when
surrounded by judgement whispered from
people lying who pretend to be your friend
---- ---- ----
Conform like others choke on sand fitting in,
some rely on convenient for comfort of
safety in numbers. When ones that are
alone become independent not lost
---- ---- ----
Positively empty yes, uncomfortable I admit
divulge in emotion distracting self-defeat.
Believe in hope acknowledge self worth
I want someone close yet can't trust anyone
