I wonder if I will matter.
I hear their words.
I see their smiles.
I want to believe,
I am important to someone.

I pretend to be stronger than I am.
I feel fragile.
I need to know.
I worry I will never realize that
I am important to someone.

I understand my clock is ticking.
I say, please slow down and wait for me.
I dream of times before and
I try to hold them in my mind.
I hope the future embraces me and lets me know,
I am import ant to someone.
