I CAN MATTER, TOO (An Original Poem)

in poetry •  7 years ago 

when you give you matter

all of our smallness
lives inside us
and makes us human.

but it can also make us
less than
too.

if we can move afar and away
outside of ourselves
not as an escape
but towards something
more beautiful.

if i can look through your eyes
and make something for you

if i can show myself to the world
through this art
or another means

then maybe
i can matter a little bit

but life always comes outside ourselves
it’s bigger outside and inside
but only when we give
whatever we can.

Wowwwww! Beautiful poem. I love the closing the most:-

but life always comes outside ourselves
it’s bigger outside and inside
but only when we give
whatever we can.
