I am small
It is easier being small
I don't take up much space
I don't look anyone in their face
I am not one who confronts
I cower and scurry like a runt
I turn the other cheek
Like a religious freak
I don't mind being small
I'm fine with it but, will I crawl?
How much weight can these shoulders take
When the last straw hits i won't break
I realize that this world is a small pond
I live here among everyone hiding in the fronds
For the sake of others I must grow
To give strength to all from my soul
We as a collective are too important
To not become grand is self indulgent
When I "became " I'm going supernova
Going for broke superman move over
I'll be a guiding light for all to see
You should grow too please join me
