All we really want to do is matter

Our lives are spent finding things to do
that give us purpose
either to ourselves, to others or to something higher

Sometimes,
we get so good at one thing
achieving what most do not
that people notice
they begin to look up to us
idolize
think that we are different, special,
somehow more evolved
and the better we become
and the more we separate from everyone else
in this one skill
eventually we become godly

How quickly we become divided from society for succeeding
How quickly society desires the distance

It is difficult not to judge
but those absorbed in the spotlight
to those hiding in the cracks of life
all only want to have their light noticed
if only just once
to know we exist
