The Blade of Grass

 

 

 

Amongst the millions of others, she does not compare

The slumped shoulders and insecure shrug

The restrained cry and forced composure

The hidden tears and lonely stares

Are only thousands of the hints which she revealed with care

 

Everyone else is bigger and louder

Everyone else is brighter and higher

Everyone else is faster and stronger

Everyone else is ready to be exposed

 

Without anyone noticing, she holds qualities of her own

The neat surroundings and covered shadow

The blocked blaze and cool interior

The meaningful whispers and latent actions

All which lack significant attention

 

The field is too big

The field is too blind

The grass is too green

On the other side

 

Yet for some reason, everything will be alright
