Sifting through the rubble
Shoveling through the dirt
I'm finding out the places
Where I have not been hurt
I'm finding that I have some worth
That I'm not a pariah, a leech, or an insect
My mind is valued, my care is wanted
I'm not just an empty shell to look at
Some people care, some people don't
The only ones that count are the ones that understand
If they don't, don't worry
They'll find their own kind in turn
In the meantime, I'll burn
Burn my own life into the sand
Write it in what will eventually fade
And remember that in the end
Everything changes and nothing lasts
What goes on here does or doesn't matter
It depends on which way you look at it
If you want things, eventually the things you want will own you
If you don't want to be owned, then you must give up everything
There's no happy medium
But just relax and live
Remember that everything is impermanent
This too will change
It could take a moment, an hour, or an instant
But it will
And everything that changes
Also fades just as quickly
Everything is just a tiny speck
In a world full of stars
