from humble beginnings

From humble beginnings I came, 
humbly walking down this path.

Lonely and alone,
myself I do find.

I enkindle but a living
from this world
so that I might survive 

and yet time and again,
into question
my survival does comes. 

Am I not worthy? 
Surely I am,
no more but no less
than any other.

Dare I dream of reaping the benefits
that might be had by any other,
such things befit me, of this I’m sure.
