    What I Really Want

     I just want to matter.

    I want to matter like the first intake of breath matters to a drowning man when he's finally brought to the surface.

    I want to matter like that first beat of a heart that restarts matters when all hope has been lost.

    I want to matter like the sun's warmth matters for the Earth to thrive.

    I want to matter like that first drop of rain matters after a drought.

    I'm tired of having to scream to be heard.

    I'm tired of having to break down to be seen.

    I'm tired of being invisible unless something is needed of me.

    I just want someone to want me.

    I just want to matter.

    That's all.

    Why is that asking so much?
