I thought I was important, but I never was,

A mere speck in the cosmos, just because.

I thought I was enough, but I never was,

Forever chasing the illusionary clause.


I thought I was competent, but I never was,

Faltering in the face of life's grand applause.

I thought this was my life, but it never was,

Just a fleeting moment in the universe's cause.


But in this realization, I find a strange solace,

To live for the moment and let go of the malice.

To cherish each breath, each step, each day,

And leave behind a legacy that will forever stay.
