***
I’m just able to skillfully complete
The jobs set before me
It’s okay to have coffee as my partner
No one will praise me
But I wear this small pride on my chest
Like a medal
The simple works I’ve done
Make the world go round and round
And make laughter
For people I haven’t yet met
These small things I I live for
Add color to the ordinary
In my monochrome days
There’s just a little red, yellow, and green
I pick up the discussion
About important events
Taking place now in society and in the world
And feel a little like I’m such a noble person
But when the dawn comes, I’m just one of the masses again
I’m so far from my aspirations
Even if I stretch, I can’t reach
A catalogue’s fate is to be tossed into the trash
With the label still on
These small things I I live for
Sometimes seem ridiculous
I frantically search for the colors
The golds, silvers, and purples, even if they run
I’m back
Welcome home
Insignificant works
Make the world go round and round
And make laughter
Somewhere for someone I don’t know
These small things I I live for
Add color to the ordinary
In my monochrome days
The blues and oranges grow
Insignificant works
Go round and round and round and round
And make smiling faces
For the people right in front of my eyes
These certain things I I live for
Add color to the ordinary
In my monochrome days
A warm pink suffuses my cheeks
The beautiful colors grow
