Description I am
  barely a whisper.

Dashed upon the rocks I am
              a broken afterthought
              shipwrecked
             lonely
                               small.

Equally bound by crushing expectation
             I breathe in coal
             my lungs are blood diamonds
                    sold to the unblinking masses.

A child, I
   grasp to dreams
   my little hands were not meant
          to hold.

Its that last verse that solidifies the poem, brings the meaning into perspective and poignancy.

You are quite welcome. It was my pleasure.
I wanted to write more but nothing I came up with really felt sufficient enough to match your words.
