Hiding within
Afraid to look out
Fearful of thy tongue
Scared to speak
Wronged of all doing
Fingers point at me
Always the first suspect
Why bother trying to explain
I have already been hung
One pebble in the sand
Trying to fight for everyone
No title on my shirt
Am I without a brain
Cold and non caring
Are whom I find that stand
With hands held out
Waiting for all you have
Some days I want to die
And I ask myself why bother
I can never win the game
I am but a pebble in the sand
One lonely grain among others
I look like him or her over there
I do not stand out
I don’t have much fight left
Please leave us alone
Let life carry us through
What have we ever done
To make your eyes so cold
Have we met somewhere before
Do you know me from my past
Please let us who are different
Take stand and be noticed
Let us show our tears
Let us show our fears
Let us feel love as you do
Let us.

One pebble in the sand may not seem like anything, but throw that pebble into the water and the resulting rings seem to go on forever – a very wide influence. Good poem.

the way you are connecting with the pebble is very true Diane.
