Pebbles

Gray, white, brown, tan
All everyone ever sees
Is a river of dull colors.

Nobody notices your individuality
Maybe you think that's a bad thing
But
You all fit in
Packed tightly
Never lonely
And that's why
I wish I were a pebble.

Sharp ridges cut bare feet
Blood sprinkled into the cracks.
You, at least, can have revenge
But I
Am powerless.
