Beauty

All my life I wanted the world to like me

I wanted them bow down to my existence

Treat me like I'm above and mighty

I think to myself as high above sea clouds

But then, the clouds would drop me

Reminding that I was too low to even dream

I wanted to be the stars in the sky

But the world has always told me my place

I'm just that fine sand in the seashore or below sea waters

I was never high above the sun

Not even close to the vast sky

Because they've always believed, I'm below

I started wearing their adjective

Thinking to myself, maybe I was too dreamy

That I'd forgot my reality

But I was strike by lightning bolt

Realizing, indeed I was below sea waters

Covered with darkness and depth but nevertheless, still a beauty.
