MAGIC
You may not believe in magic
But don't you think it's strange
The amount of matter in universe
Has never slightly changed
That all which makes your body
Was once part of something more
And every breath you breathe
Has seen it all before
There are countless scores of beauty
In all the things you despise
It could once have been a shooting star
That now makes up your thighs
And atoms of forgotten life
Who have long ceased to roam
May now have the great honor
To call your crooked smile their home
You may not believe in magic
But I thought you should know
The making of your heart were born
Billions of years ago
So next time you feel lonely
When this world makes you feel small
Just remember it's part of you
And you're part of it all
