I want to be a part of something bigger than myself,
nothing tall like a giant, but nothing small like an elf.
Something that flows like a river,
maybe cool like a breeze,
that stands strong like a rock,
but can float with an ease.
I want to be a part of something bigger than myself,
not something that says, "He just did it for the wealth."
It has to have a meaning,
that goes deeper than a root,
for I am just a knight,
N' this will be my suit.
I want to be a part of something bigger than myself,
to reference all the times, which I was in good health.
where solved a bloody murder,
N' I wrestled space and time,
or I got lost inside a wardrobe,
that wasn't even mine.
SO, I want to be a part of something bigger than myself,
like what I read in books, stacked high upon my shelf.
I'd climb an epic bean stalk,
or slay a mighty dragon,
but outside of these books,
i've just fallen off the wagon!

I just want to say it's been awhile since I have posted anything, and for that I am sorry. Also I want to reference is the ending. I've just fallen off the wagon is an idiom. It means to start drinking alcohol agian moreorless a lot of it at one time after not drinking for a long period of time. Hence to fall off the wagon. Most of my older readers will understand!
Thanks,

PoetryHave you ever felt like you wanted to be a part of something bigger than yourself? This is my take on how books always make me feel like I can be part of something bigger.... but in reality I am nothing like them!
