I can’t ever get anything I want

It is unfair how close I can get

Almost in my grasp

But can never hold it

Why can’t anything be easy?

I almost break my bones

Just to receive the smallest of tokens

I feel like one of Snow White’s seven dwarves

Which one would I be?

Probably Dopey

Or a new one named Jittery

I feel like an ant

The world bigger and crueler

Everyone will try to crush me

Look down on me

Just for being who I am

It’s not fun being short

At least I’m good at limbo
