Remember Me

by rose345

They won't remember me I'm the shadow they glimpsed Small talk I'm just that girl they saw I'm a leaf on a rose plant They saw the rose But never saw the leaves I'm like the beautiful pattern on wasps' wings They only see the stinger I do want a legacy But I am not the main character In any story but mine I am not a hero The world has made that obvious The only person I can save is myself Give me a pen and I'll write But don't make me wield a weapon Cause that's not my legacy And I don't know what is But someday some one will notice me Remember me And somehow My legacy will not be in my hands But in theirs
