I'm nothing to the world
Meaningless and worthless
Just another human being
With nothing special at all
A face in the crowd
Nobody notices
Another stanger
People won't remember
Anonymous I am
That won't change
Quickly forgotten I'll be
That's my sad destiny
Meaningless and worthless
Just another human being
With nothing special at all
A face in the crowd
Nobody notices
Another stanger
People won't remember
Anonymous I am
That won't change
Quickly forgotten I'll be
That's my sad destiny
Literature
Dear Death
I sink my knees
into the sodden dirt
surrounding the grave
of a human long gone
I touch the stone's
chiseled cursive words
and trace the letters:
how gelid they've become
I stare at the flowers
that people have left;
upon the plot,
ham-handedly chopped
And I contemplate
my inevitable death
hoping no flowers are left
for the message they possess
"I'm trading life for death."
Literature
.
i'll measure my life
in coffee grounds, in summer
freckles and you
Literature
What Remained
Half asleep, I
traced the edges of stars
with my trembling fingertips,
and that shimmering dust
left on the ridges of my fingers
were the only remnants
of my existence

Just another sad poem...

We all feel this way sometimes; and I like how you wrote it.
And I recently realized we won't be remembered for our accomplishments most likely... but how we treated those around us. So I try to care how I'd want others to care for me.
P.S. truly I can walk into a party or in the room with two other people and not get noticed for awhile; and I was at an all day event and wasn't noticed by a friend for the first 6 hours. It happens. But instead of feeling negative about it... I just say I'm training my ninja skills.
