Introspective

By Apsarra

I am not special
Though by some I am loved and appreciated
most walk by and do not see me.

I am not popular
Uless someone wants something.
want, need, desire - It is all the same.

I am not beautiful
am I?
Some say so.

I am not gifted
At what cost were they spawned
The words from my pen, mouth, pictures from my eyes,

I guess I need none of these things
to appreciate true beauty when I see it
for the fleeting second it exists before it perishes.

The little girl has been laid to rest
The princes, white steeds, and castles are myst
Understanding comes - nothing lasts forever.


As much as we try
As much as we deny
We all have lived - simply to die.

Author's Note:

Much of my poetry is filled with randomness. Seldom Do I stew for a substantial amount of time. Generally if I do - the piece never gets completed as the mood is lost.

    Ah..This is really good. Randomness is always welcome especially when it actually joins dots :)

    The thoughts of worthlessness are ever present in all of us I think. Though all of us are eventually going to die I find it best to live in the now. Good Write.
