‼️UPON THIS SHELF‼️
I look at others and I do see
What I don’t have inside of me
I’m all alone beside myself
Atop a wooden empty shelf
I look below an endless pit
I look above and feel misfit
To the left and then the right
I try so hard with all my might
Are there things that I must know
Is there something I must show
Will I fit in and be ok
It takes me time to find my way
There is a reason here I perch
Upon this shelf of carved out birch
And when I wonder what’s in store
Something inside just says there’s more
There’s room for you upon this shelf
And in return you’ll find yourself
Far better yet, don’t disregard
Join me now for this is hard
I’m lonely yes but just a bit
I’ll wait some more until you hit
A point inside there’s no return
Oh my your here! How fast you learn
A friend just sat right next to me
Someone who believed in me
The shelf so lonely now was shared
A friend with me for whom I cared
This friend of mine was wise and smart
Applauded me and touched my heart
“Dear little book upon this shelf
It’s time to share and nothing else
Your pages are your own to write
You have the answers, you were right
Never let the cover fool you
Be yourself in all that you do”
Big book in all its history
Said these words to little me
Inside of you is something real
And It’s ok… to say how you feel
