A Universe Within

In the context of the universe you are small
Even the Sun looks no more than a golfball
The planets, the stars, and other celestial objects
Have no chance with what the cosmos projects

You can think you are unimportant
If you also think your cells are insignificant
They are small and can't be seen easily
And yet they make you up delicately

But you can think big by putting into consideration
That the atoms that make you up also made the constellations
Your body is made of the remnants of once shining stars
I guess that does make you an elysian superstar

There are more connections in your brain alright
Than the number of stars you see at night
The very thought of it should make you believe
That you may be small but big in another perspective

You see, size doesn't measure what you are or what you can do
You don't ignore a mosquito when it bites you, do you?
If you are reading this I hope you would be able to see
That you're awesome in the most awesome way you could be

You are the universe itself, observing its grandeur
Just like it, you're beautiful that's where I'm sure
You live inside the inexplicable immensity of this universe, yes you do
But you are as immense as the universe is because the universe is also within you
