You Matter

A great and infinite sadness;
A feeling, non-tangible
One cannot hold

You’ve known it all your life
Turned your back on instinct
and opted for a narrative not your own

Shame, guilt, and embarrassment pervert your views
Trying to appease the unforeseen collective
Cast aside truth in search of acceptance

A life dealt by others
Ignored by yourself
To fit into what?
At what cost?

For you and only you to determine
So...

Feel, feelings are not wrong
Question, only through asking will you receive
Live, like it’s a matter of life or death
