Worthy

I hear you claim

that it doesn't matter whether or not you stay.

I hear your cries

explicitly describing all of your tries.

You think that you're invisible,

and all of your life's endeavours, disposable.

But you should know that you can see this through.

You should understand there is no one like you.

No one to arrange those books the way you do,

no one to make that perfect version of stew.

How will any of us do

without your jokes that crack up the entire room?

Those spontaneous polaroids cannot be left

to gather dust in some corner and rest.

You must stay around

to help your siblings through their various breakdowns.

These are just a few of the little things

that matter in life.

As for the 'big' ones, I promise

you'll take them all in a stride!
