Rubberband Man

Look at the rubberband man
see him stretch for you
better and better he tries to be
pleasing everyone else's whims.
good deeds that go unnoticed
perfect scores without a comment
he could be a hero, save the whole world
and still be invisible
look at the rubberband man
the buried in the sand man
his identity as solid as a shadow
his uniqueness clear like swirling fog
his efforts fall and drown
in a sea of ignoration
he strives to stick out but can only fall in
to the pool of faces, the plethera of places
the gaggle of people all fighting to win
look at the rubberband man
doing more and more
pushing harder and harder
working himself weaker and weaker
all for someone else's pleasure
dear rubberband man
do more.
push harder.
work yourself weaker.
and weaker.
and weaker.
SNAP!
