Let Earth unbalanced from her orbit fly / Planets and Suns run lawless through the sky. <br /> An Essay on Man - Alexander Pope


His hands are like stones
Arctic to most
His smile, unknown
As shy as a ghost
His timing is rotten
As loose as the breeze
A creature forgotten
By all except me
He is so much more
Than the figure they see
I see him for
Not the lint on his sleeve
But the unrecognized
Hope in his eyes

No matter what you do in life, in the end, the only person that will take impact is you.

I like the meaning to it! But...its not a sonnet :(
