“The Legend of Giants” by Natalia Rak

JUST BEING ME

Sometimes I can’t help but feel
so very insignificant and small,
rather wary of the world
and retreating from it all,
feeling somewhat invisible
to those who pass by
even though I look at them
right square in the eye
and say “How do you do
on this bright sunny day”
before going on my way.

But not a word back
from them do I hear,
not a glance
nothing indicating
that they even heard
even one of the words
I said passing by
or saw the smile
on my face
or the small tears
beginning to well up
in my eyes.


But I suppose it’s all
a matter of degree,
the things that I see
and the things
that tend to bother me,
trying so hard not to allow
things to spoil my day
or make me feel down.

But sometimes I feel
on top of the world,
so brave and so confident,
the me I’d much rather be,
happily spending
the time that I have
tending to my garden
of friends and of flowers,
that place that’s exactly
what I want it to be
and where I can
always be me
within the reality I see
while I’m just being me.
