The giant cockroach struggles against the tiny ants <br />As he fights for his life, the ants try and take him away to eat <br />A one on three million battle that he will never win <br />The little ants finally succeed and take him away <br />The little things <br />The teenage girl struggles through each day at school <br />She fights to keep going as she is teased because of her looks <br />A one on five battle that she cannot win <br />The boys win, as she takes her life with a blade <br />The little things <br />Two friends struggling to keep the friendship going <br />They fight for the relationship as others tease <br />A one on one battle that they will not win <br />The others win and the friendship is broken <br />The little things <br />I see these things everyday and wonder why the little things can break us <br />The little things start up a friendship, but can also end it <br />The little things can start life, but also end it <br />The giant cockroach, he’s life ended with small ants <br />The teenage girl, her life ended with the boys saying small words <br />The friendship, it ended because one of the friends was different <br />The little things<br /><br />Tamara Moir<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-little-things-3/
