For all my failures
and iniquities
my success is
so much smaller.
So with some success
I say the smaller they are,
the smaller I am,
the less I reach out
to the world I seem
so desperately to want
to speak out to.
So here I find myself saying,
it doesn't matter
how small I am
as long as the words
are still being said,
and deaf ears
seem to hear again.
