on my head lies the crown

that rules the world in all its greatness

the waves prepare a oceanic carpet for its king

but i'm not that strong, at least, not on my own

nature loves me because i'm a child

but you too could be more like me too

sometimes you're stubborn and you think too much

other times you're mean and loud and angry

sometimes i think you're a too grown up grown-up

sometimes i think you should be more like me

but i'm not trying to be rude

you see, the joy i feel is what i feel from letting go

from knowing i'm not wholly in control

the peace i feel flows freely through the sand

because i know there's only so much i can do

and so there's no need to worry

just living, breathing, walking is a glory

and please don't feel sorry

because you were never great

and neither am i

but when i stop and rest

there's greatness to be held

in the skies, waves, and grasses

that only comes back to me

when i give away the key

inspirational

About the Creator

poetryinwaiting

I love all things writing...though I am particularly biased towards good, vulnerable poetry. I love pouring my heart on a page with every piece I write. Life is for expressing, not containing.
