"1 in a million"
is supposed to be comforting in the fact that you are
on a undiscovered and unrepeatable voyage
called life.
Uniquely and distinctly YOU.
but what about the other 99,999?
Have you ever considered yourself among the rest?
Have you ever asked an ant
how he was different from the rest?
carrying the huge weight of a simple leaf upon his tiny back
day after day, traveling the same path back to the colony's nest
spending his whole life trying to escape
Mother Nature's wrath.
Have you ever asked a piece of sand
how it felt to be constantly surrounded by others identical to itself
together they are soft, running through your toes on a beach
but alone, it is grainy and uncomfortable in your bed.
Have you ever asked a star
how it felt to be looked at in the plural form
never recognized for its own warmth,
or how bright it shines its own light.
Because when we look at the sky,
we gaze upon a sea of stars
and praise them for their beauty.
The singular star lives and dies among the rest.
