&quot;Don&#039;t be afraid of death, be afraid of the unlived life.&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;Why are you trying so hard to fit in, when you were born to stand out?&quot;

My feet flit across the smooth surface of the hollow ground
They take me quickly across the short journey of my shallow life.
Too many people.
Too many questions.
The same mindless chatter I’ve heard before.
As suns set, and new dawns are born
A new resolves settles along my
chest, and slows my racing feet
The one absolute that is certain, as I am absolutely sure,
I was created for something more.

The author's comments:
I wrote this at a time when I was facing a lot of uncertainty, and decided to stay strong in who I am. I finally realized that I was meant for something bigger, and that holding onto my seemingly insignificant life was worth fighting for.
