All of Us Star Dust

Bits of myself are scattered through the cosmos
My being nothing more than star dust
Part of the world yet one set apart
One who originated from the earth and its crust
A cog in the machine of a social combine
I play the role I was destined to play
I observe those around me in life as they go
Each with their voice and the words that they say
At odds with myself I am stuck in the middle
Wanting to belong but still be unique
So much to the side that I have befallen myself
I do not say much but sit back and see
No wonder I feel as much as I do
Ostracized from the rest of the world
I am here through my own actions and only because
To raise my voice I was never quite sure
So in an effort to break these walls that I’ve built
I step out and shake hands with you
For we are all made up of the same still star dust
The same spirit we share shows that’s true
