Feeling Small - A Poem 

    Poetry about littleness.

    I was feeling small today.

        

    Yes, and not just less than significant. I felt significant, I think.

    But: more like not big enough, not good enough.

    Thinking of failures, and not succeeding.

    We can be significant underachievers. 

    I know that I can.

    Negativity small thinking.

    Yeah, not the best.

    Failing here, coming up short there.

    Not hitting the mark.

    Consistently.

    Wrong words, wrong products.

    Even excessive and incoherent.

    Egads!

    Yuck.

    There is more than feeling small.

    Others can be bigger.

    Yet, you are diminished.

    Shrunken.

    Small.

    Almost tiny, or worse.

    But yet: significant.

    Hope lingers.

    thanks, humility!
