It matters
When I was already in battle with who I was
When I already doubted who I was supposed to me
When I fell and was told I would never get up
When I was talked over
Looked passed
Slapped
Kicked
Worthless
Disgusting
When I was fat
When I was lazy
When I was shameful
When I saw what they saw
It should’ve mattered
When I walked alone
No hand holding
No good morning smile
No good night kisses
No one to tuck me in
No one hold me
No one to love me
No one to tell me it would all be okay
It should have mattered
In the days when I couldn’t walk
When I couldn’t open my eyes
When I didn’t want to
When I would make myself sleep
When I kept myself in darkness
When there was nothing but darkness
In the days when I fought my own self
To save my own life
It should
Have
Mattered
It did matter
It still matters
I see you
Do you see me?
It still matters
I still matter
