The World and I

I blame the world for all my troubles and insecurities,

As I lay here struggling to find sleep

I want the world to see me, and acknowledge my pain,

And for a moment it seems I am the centre of it all,

So I close my mind and try to envision the world.

I see myself from my bed, then from my room,

Then my house, then my village,

I get anxious as the world widens

From city, to parish, to country.

I can no longer see myself

Which is when I realize

I  am really  just a spec of dust in the desert.
