You Matter

August 23, 2021

Some people have a monster in their head It lurks in the shadows Creeping around in their nightmares Telling them “you don't matter”

For others, the monsters live outside Some even don fake wings and a halo They call themselves protectors While still whispering “you don't matter”

And still others don't know it They can't hear their own voice Their fear or ignorance speaks for them Telling someone “you don't matter”

Stop building walls Let others in, and help them up See people for who they are and say “you matter”
