Beginning
Explanations run few and far between
For I am truly not what I seem
Answers to questions I do not get
Things I have I often regret
I care not what others think of me
They do not understand what they see
For I do not even comprehend myself
I often feel as miniscule as an elf
Acting like an enormous giant
Stepping on others like ants
I ask why I am and I get no reply
All I can do is lean back and sigh
I live with the fact that I just am
Taking day to day balancing on a rim
If I fall into the cup I will die
For I will not even begin to try
Clawing my way out of the abyss
Just to start all over again
