~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.
