The Insignificance of a Star

I'm much more insignificant in this world than I had previously imagined.

for so long,
I thought I was a Supernova;
a bright and vibrant flash of light that would radiate in what short life I had.
but my voice,
like photons,
would travel for eons, being seen by galaxy after galaxy.

it'd seem that perhaps I was wrong.

I don't have the leadership.
I don't have the talent.
I don't have the innovativeness.
I don't have the brains to allow me to shine forever.

or perhaps shine at all.

perhaps I'm just a blue star,
full of lost potential energy,
and eventually consumed by the vast vortex of blackening space.

and perhaps that insignificance was always bound to be.
