Small

I have never felt so small

And that’s okay

I could sail away

And not many would notice

I could start a new life

Live many lives over time

And still not many

Would blink an eye

And when I die

They will have wished for

More time

Rather than

Letting days slip by

Without a single “hi”

I have never felt so small

And that’s okay

I don’t want to be drooled over

Anyway

I just wish to be

Visible

Not a fly on a wall

Not one to be overshadowed by

Stereotypical beauty standards

Ignored by cameras

I simply wish to be seen

But I am merely a speck

The one they forget

Then remember at the last minute

Number of contacts long diminished

I have never felt so small

And that’s okay

I simply exist in a world

With presences too large

For any room

Leaving no room

For me.
