~Immortal World.~
'''A quick introduction before you read, if you do not understand this poem, that is fine. This is a personal poem, it is one that I read to myself in my head all the time. It is a poem about my self-esteem issues, it is a poem about accepting myself as who I am. Maybe you will find this Poem relate able, maybe you won't. '''

I was born into an immortal world,

I wasn't trained yet the first thing they do is give me a sword,

And then they expect me to win a war!

I was never as skilled as everybody else,

And I guess I never will be,

When I first went to school I was surrounded by giants,

These people could read and write and play sport without making a mistake,

And yet here I was,

Flawed.

I used to wonder if it was the powers,

I used to wonder if they were born that way,

I wanted to think I was the only one who didn't have such superhuman gifts,

I was born into an immortal world where I was sure to be forgotten,

I wasn't taught anything, yet the first thing they do is give me a test,

And then they expect me to be like everyone else!

I was never as skilled as everybody else,

And I guess I never will be,

When I first went to school I was surrounded by giants,

These people could read and write and play sport without making a mistake,

And yet here I was,

Flawed.

I used to wonder if it was the powers,

I used to wonder if they were born that way,

I wanted to think I was the only one who didn't have such superhuman gifts,

If people were only remembered for their talents,

Did I really exist?

If people are only known for their achievements,

Do I really exist?

If people are only written in history when they are remembered,

Should I really exist?

Humans have the shortest lives,

Yet the world seems to be immortal,

Our memories will fade away,

And only the strongest survive,

I was born into an immortal world,

I wasn't trained yet the first thing they do is give me a sword,

And then they expect me to win a war!

I was never as skilled as everybody else,

And I guess I never will be,

How do I make my mark on an immortal world?

How do I be remembered by a society that only celebrates perfection?

Will I be that fossil that was never uncovered?

Will I be that snake who’s skin deteriates?

I look up all these famous people,

People who had made their mark,

If my abilities are so igsignificant,

How will I be remembered in an immortal world?

I used to wonder if it was the powers,

I used to wonder if they were born that way,

I wanted to think I was the only one who didn't have such superhuman gifts,

I was born into an immortal world where I was sure to be forgotten,

I wasn't taught anything, yet the first thing they do is give me a test,

And then they expect me to be like everyone else!

I was never as skilled as everybody else,

And I guess I never will be,

I know I might not be as amazing as everybody else,

But I refuse to be forgotten in an immortal world,

My friendships with others will determine how history will remember me,

I can choose to be someone who never cared for others

Or I can be the best version of me in the time I have here,

I refuse to stay on the ground,

One day I will rise up on my feet,

And I will make my mark on an immortal world.
