Simply Me

Just a speck I the universe
I feel it is a must
To try to do much better,
And become a particle of dust.

If I could graduate to that
I would like to see
If I could at least attain
The status of a flea.

Maybe someday per chance
If I could get it right,
I would become a shining star
You look up to every night.

But if I could reach my highest goal
How perfect it would be,
To have a second chance
At Simply being me.
