THE BEST OF US

Spilled my guts
You said , “So what ?”
Who cares?
No one is listening!

“Straighten up
Enough’s enough
You’re self absorbed
Uninteresting. 

People come, 
People go
It doesn’t matter
What you know.

No one cares
If it’s unfair 
They’ll take it all
They’ll take your share. 

A tiny morsel
A grain of sand 
So minuscule 
Slips through your hands. 

Don’t fool yourself
You matter less
Than you could know 
Or ever guess! 

In the end
You’ll turn to dust
It happens to
The best of us.
