Prehistoric Sand

Incompetent fool
What do you think I am?
I am not just a simple grain of sand
Among millions of others

I am a grain of sand
That has its own story
I have been here
For thousands of years

I am meant to be acknowledged
I have history
Read my stories
Know my suffering

I have seen 
The beginning and the end
What have you seen?
Nothing compared to what I have

So don’t just hold me in your hand
And throw me back down
I am one in many
But I can still scald your soles
