Little Things
Little, little things
They hurt the most
Little words, comments, remarks
Leave a nasty little stain
Am I supposed to ignore it?
Maybe I'm to blame
A little weak today
A little tired like yesterday
I think I'm a little crazy
Because these little things
Don't feel little to me
But a little smile
Buys a little time
Hides the little things away
Only for a little while longer
And your little mind is lost
Because it's all a little strange
Little tears, little poems, little laughs
Are all part of the little things
Are you feeling a little pain?
Is this poem a little deranged?
Because I guarantee this for real
Little by little it becomes the same
Forget my little thoughts
My unfortunate ways
They're all a little stupid
I think I'll run away
From these little things
Before they consume
The little piece that's left of me
They hurt the most
Little words, comments, remarks
Leave a nasty little stain
Am I supposed to ignore it?
Maybe I'm to blame
A little weak today
A little tired like yesterday
I think I'm a little crazy
Because these little things
Don't feel little to me
But a little smile
Buys a little time
Hides the little things away
Only for a little while longer
And your little mind is lost
Because it's all a little strange
Little tears, little poems, little laughs
Are all part of the little things
Are you feeling a little pain?
Is this poem a little deranged?
Because I guarantee this for real
Little by little it becomes the same
Forget my little thoughts
My unfortunate ways
They're all a little stupid
I think I'll run away
From these little things
Before they consume
The little piece that's left of me

Little things can become a big problem if not dealt with. Soon they become so heavy we collapse. It's okay to let the little things bother you as long as you have other little things that make you smile.
good ink.
good ink.

Uplifting comment Brohammad, I appreciate it :) it's hard but we need to focus on the good little things... the bad just tends to get in the way of that. Thanks for stopping by!

Hmmm. thought provoking this is indeed. We all get pissed off by seemingly little things that sometimes someone did not do, especially those of us with a sensitive nature.

Many times we do take offense to things that weren't even targeted at us, learning to ease up and ignore the littlest things is an acquired skill for me.. It seems being sensitive is both a blessing and a curse. I appreciate your thoughtfulness, thanks for commenting!

Little things, like the uptick you feel when you see your favorite wandering metaphysical spirit has posted a new poem.
Little things, like the feeling you get when you read a poem and it speaks to you.
Little things, like receiving positive comments on your poem that make you feel just a little less alone in the world
Little things, the realization that all big things are made up of little things
As Always, Post
