It’s the little things
that sometimes
make the difference in our lives

It’s the little things
that can annoy
or can help us to survive

And I’ll come across
each little thing
and to dismiss it would be wrong

because those little things
can make it easy
to feel like I belong

For it is materialism
that makes me seem
I want to go

It is the way
to take a life
and produce it like a show

Put on the face
put on the performance
and take it to the road

Let it find an audience
who’d appreciate
but never know

what fully
there can be left
to try to comprehend

I will endure
the battle scars
just to find one good friend
