I'm your average piece of earth,
Feeling less then what I'm worth.
Throw me in a river, drop me in dirt.
Do anything to me because it wont hurt.
Call me boring, throw me around.
Do anything to me, I wont make a sound.
Gray and round, among thousands of others.
Guess you could call them my sisters and brothers.
Out of all the rocks, why choose me?
I'm ORDINARY, BORING, but why cant you see?
No one will remember a rock like me,
but its ok because its my destiny.

I've read all your poems and I like this one the best, mostly because I think as one point or another everyone one feels that they're not unique. I think you should try to go deeper into that feeling in your other peoms.

Hey, this is great. I really love it. If you want a pointer (it's fine the way it is!) You could work on your "rhythm" -that's not spelled right is it? just try and make the words flow more smoothly. But it really is good, I love what it says

&quot;I like nonsense, it wakes up the brain cells. Fantasy is a necessary ingredient in living, it&#039;s a way of looking at life through the wrong end of a telescope. Which is what I do, and that enables you to laugh at life&#039;s realities.&quot;<br /> --Dr. Seuss
