Some of Us

Some of us just float through life

Ghosts wandering aimlessly among the rest

Going unnoticed by all

We have learned not to care

What others think or

What may become of ourselves

Some of us long for the spotlight

Birds with brilliantly colored feathers

Squawking noisily when no one looks our way

We try to forget the days

When no one said anything

Because to us those days are wasted

Now some of us want to seize the day

Fireworks exploding in the night sky

Illuminating the good in all things with our light

We live for the moment and 

Refuse to conform

And that is the kind of us we should be
