Just

I’m nothing new or special, just
another writer looking to make
his mark on the world, make an
impression, change some lives.

I’m nothing new or special, just
a guy who thinks he’s found a
way to make a difference, to
open some eyes, to rise up.

I’m nothing new or special, just
someone who realizes that
there’s more to life, that he
can accomplish something great.

I’m nothing new or special, just
a man fed up with giving up, tired
of not caring, saddened by how
quickly people seem to forget.

I’m nothing new or special, just
one in a long line of thinkers and
doers, a footsoldier in the army
fighting the war against ignorance.

I’m nothing new or special, just
one of the many voices of our
time, a man who like many others
is trying to be heard in the crowd.

I am nothing new or special. There
will always be people like me. The
speaker, the thinker, the visionary,
defined by their words and ideas.
