A Big World

it's a big world out there.

towers taller than houses stacked
upon eachother .

oceans bigger
than your entire country.

we are small
compared to
this big world.

but don't forget...
however small we are
we are here
we exist
so we matter.

don't lose yourself
as you look over the clouds
stretching out beneath the plane
that seem to go on forever.

however
short
tall
cool
unpopular
different
weird
funny
alone
you are?

you matter.

don't let the
big world
make you think differently.

    that seeps through cracks
    underneath the door

    from stray branches and walking
    throughout the woods, balking
    at the idea
    of no path

    water rests on skin
