Sometimes, I Wonder

21/01/2021 – Poem a Day Compilation



Sometimes, I wonder

Not about the big things

But about the small,

The insignificant things

And whether they are,

In fact,

The most important things

In the world or,

At least,

My world.



Sometimes, it’s ok

That I didn’t save the world

Because I don’t think

I’d know how to do that

And, besides,

Maybe I am

Saving the world

One recycled bottle

Or saved litre of water

At a time.



Sometimes, I forget

That individuality

Doesn’t mean insignificance

When I can change

Myself,

My thoughts,

My actions,

My whole attitude

And make this world

A little better.



Sometimes, I am overwhelmed

By the hill I must climb

And the burden I carry

But, then,

Who else but me

Will bear my own troubles

For, if I cannot save myself,

How can I possibly

Expect the same from others

When they stumble.



Sometimes, I am strong

And there is nothing

I cannot accomplish,

No battle I can’t win

And no friend I can’t help

For simply being

An ear to listen,

A hand to hold,

A mind to understand –

Someone with whom to share.



Sometimes, I wonder

And it’s ok

That I forget

Or am overwhelmed

Because I am strong –



Because I am me.
