inconsequential

you matter.

inconsequential

I sit alone

and realize

it would make no difference

if I stayed or left,

if I smiled or cried.

there would be no one

to tell either way.

I shape this time

with my actions

and try to make up

for all the ways

time has shaped me.

and yet no matter

what comes from it,

no one will know.

it is there that

I am wrong.

what I do alone

is seen by others

though hard I may

try to hide it.

they can tell

by way of my

actions, my dress,

the way I think

about myself

and the world.

they are all products

of my time alone

and I carry them

every day

for the world to see.
