Capitals
i dont capitalize the 'i'
i'm too insignificant
For an uppercase letter,
you'd need to be magnificent
One in billions
i blend into the crowd
One voice against them all
They're way too loud
i want to be in textbooks
i want to be remembered
i'd have to stand out
but not as a pretender
Not a natural right,
the capital letter is earned
i need to be great or else
i will die of the capital yearn
i'm too insignificant
For an uppercase letter,
you'd need to be magnificent
One in billions
i blend into the crowd
One voice against them all
They're way too loud
i want to be in textbooks
i want to be remembered
i'd have to stand out
but not as a pretender
Not a natural right,
the capital letter is earned
i need to be great or else
i will die of the capital yearn

I like the tone of this poem. I see what you're saying, I want to be remembered too. Not just as a friend, but as a person that had signifigant change for the better in someone's life. Keep up the good work!
