It's not so much that I don't
Want them to know
But more that I don't
Want to become the center.

That's why it's ironic,
They feel the need to
Remind me
The world doesn't revolve around me.

I know.

The world doesn't revolve around me.
I discovered that at age 5
When I looked in the mirror and
Saw a face
I knew I'd never cherish.

The world doesn't revolve around me.
If the world revolved around me
I would be comfortable,
I would have just enough to bide me by.
I would be living out of my comfort zone.

The world doesn't revolve around me.
If the world revolved around me
People would be happy,
On earth there would be harmony,
On earth would be peace.
Every person on the face
Of the earth
Would be comfortable, content, and confident.
Living their dreams.

The world doesn't revolve around me.
If the world revolved around me,
The world would revolve around everyone.

And
The world doesn't revolve around everyone.
The world doesn't revolve around anyone.
The world revolves around the sun.

And maybe that's okay.
