i am too small to be of much good

my hands, they tremble

when weighed with the world

my misadventures lack the lessons

that make them worth-while

its a miracle that my voice rises beyond whispers

and a shock that my arms can stretch above

my head; five feet seven inches

(or however tall i am)

cannot be substantial enough

to take a stance considered powerful

my tongue drips with words but what good are they

when plagiarized from thoughts that

might be someone elses?

i dont know where i begin and influences end

so who am i to say whether or not a pen between my fingers

can do more right than wrong?
