feeling so small
walking the streets
of an old town
of old defeats

i was the greatest failure
i am my greatest gift

plaques of history
envelope before me
i want to know all the facts
i want to know all your sins

you are the greatest interest

these small things
i know their worth
i know that i will forever remember them

so i keep walking
i keep my eyes wide and bereft

i am my greatest potential
i am
