This is a rather random poem that I wrote, that expresses a feeling I think everyone has at times. I don’t usually write poems, you know, but this one is not about love, it’s about significance, and about being a human. Enjoy.


    “Like a newborn,
    I praise myself and what I have made
    I fill myself with pride, and I feel,
    for a fleeting moment,
    that I am of significance.
    Like a newborn,
    I learn, and am inspired by what I make,
    each new thing seems infinitely more refined, and I feel,
    for a fleeting moment,
    that I am evolving.

    Like a newborn,
    I can be fragile, and my world can be destroyed,
    smashed by realization that I will never be,
    for a fleeting moment,
    one of those, of true significance.

    But like any newborn,
    I may cry and scream awhile,
    and then forget come dinnertime,
    about my insignificance.
    And like the fool I am, filled with pride for insignificant things, I remain inspired.”

  1. Well done. Something I would like to see in your blog about page… it very easily symbolizes a blog named Adultward.

    It’s great. I can absolutely identify with what you express.

    Now, off to feel significant. :)

  3. That’s true. :) Thanks, Nicole. I’ll do that, I think.

  4. *giggles and hugs*

  5. It’s very nice. “fleeting” is special word, I think. It’s very emotilnal.

  6. Thank you for reading it, Shiori. :)
