I've always felt like just a speck of dust,
Not wanting to move on though I know I must
Trailing in the shadows and getting overlooked by the crowds,
Nothing more than a silhouette, always filled with doubtsI've never felt more than just a sliver of hope,
That one day I can finally walk the tightrope
Be my own person and face the world,
Never again will I be that quiet girlBut then comes back that feeling of sheer fright,
Though the monsters under the bed aren't going to bite
I keep looking back and getting haunted by the past,
Despite wanting to keep a clear mind and move on fastI've always felt like just a speck of dust,
Always feeling lonely and reality won't adjust
I've never felt more than a sprinkle of water,
Or an overflowing teapot getting hotter and hotterEmotions swirling in and out of my head,
Streaming out are the tears so long unshed
No more was I than just a fresh intake of air,
It was only when I met you, that I was truly awareYou changed my world, brought it right to focus,
The happiness in little things, you made me notice
You made me feel like more than just a speck of dust,
Until you were in my world, there was noone I could trust.~V
Ever felt overpowered by the greatness of this world? Ever felt so overpowered that your very existence seemed to be vanishing by the minute? Ever felt so insignificant in someone's life that even if you ceased to exist one day, they wouldn't bat an eyelash?
Well, forget all those people out there who don't know you and your aims, dreams and purpose in life. They won't ever come to know that strong, kind and beautiful person who's reading this right now, and will never come to know how important you are in someone else's life!
If you ever feel insecure about yourself, remember: there's no such thing as an abherration. There's no such thing as a flaw.It's your imperfections that make you perfect. Each and every one of us are beautiful in our own way. It's time you opened your eyes and saw that.
