A little thing

[Dastrix Slogan]

For anyone who has ever felt left-out and alone
-------------------------------------------------------------

I am a little thing
the smallest firefly
scuttling across the ceiling of the vast night sky
so very, very small
if you dont look
you wont see me
almost nothing
compared to the big that surrounds me
but look closer
not at the brightest star that becons for your admiration
but for the littlest thing
thats barely there
no dancing beams to catch your eye
no heart on my sleeve
the wonder shines inside
and the smallest door
leads to the biggest room
and the brightest light that fills each corner
and the warmest hug you will ever know
but you will never know
unless you look away from the brightest lights
and your eyes get used to the dark
and after a while
you will see me here
with all the rest of us
the littlest things

that's a really nice piece. i generally don't comment on poetry because i just tend to dislike the form, but this is exactly what you described it as...i'm not quite that "kind" of person, but i can see where you're coming from, and have certain friends who i know would identify with this wholeheartedly. i'd send it to them, but it would probably seem kind of rude! (ie: "hey, you know how you're a loner and stuff, read this" ).
