A Simple Blade of Grass, by izzy Subscribe to rss feed for izzy

Of the billions of people in this world,
together we're viewed as a mass.
individually different,
yet seen as a simple blade of grass.

If I grow tall, shout out and scream,
I will not be heard, I will not be seen.
when they look at me I am the same as you,
or at least it would seem.

And when I die no one will see,
as another blade of grass soon replaces me...

This is so nice and meaningful! You have commented so many nice things on my poetry and i really appreciate it! Back to your poem, this is something that could be put into a book and they would end up studying it in a highschool classroom and everyone has to decpher the meanings behind the words
