Most Likely Dirt, a poem

Most Likely Dirt

Sometimes I like to just sit and think

And I don't know what I think about

But if I didn't think I could probably never think again

Sometimes I get scared

For really no reason at all

Sometimes I feel trapped inside me

Sometimes I just wish I could escape who I am

I just wish I could be anything but me

Maybe I could be a tree

Or a log in the fire

Anything would do

Anything besides me

Maybe a bird

Flying in the sky

Or the ocean

With the waves rolling by

But I would most likely be something much smaller

Like a little snowflake

Or a coal in the fire

Most likely dirt

I could be anything

Anything but me

Maybe a tree
