Insignificant
I have always believed
that I am nothing.
All my problems;
All my fears;
I let them rule my
life.
My insecurities took
over.
"What will people
think?"
I let it ruin me.
I let other people
decide everything.
When people were around
me,
They couldn't tell.
I wouldn't let them.
I would have sworn
I was insignificant,
That no one would
notice if I were gone;
No one would care.
But I was wrong.
I understand it now.
I am not insignificant;
My problems are.
They aren't gone,
though.
The problems;
They're still here.
They just seem smaller
than before.
And people would notice
if I were gone;
People would care.
I do have friends,
Not as many as I would
like,
But they are there.
The are standing behind
me,
Or holding my hand.
I know they love me.
Some say it and some
don't,
But I know.
I always have a shoulder
to cry on,
Even though he seems
so far away.
I always have people
to rant to.
I just have to turn
on the computer,
Or pick up the phone.
My problems seem so
insignificant now;
But that makes me
feel bad;
It took something
like planes crashing into buildings,
For my mind to understand,
I am not nothing,
And I am not insignificant.
