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
About the Creator

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.
