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
