I MATTER
I’m raw and uncut to the human eye
Much like a diamond in the ruff.
Don’t judge me by what you see
My life is deeper than the red on my head
Or a deep-rooted tree.
I see right through the Plexiglas
Between you and me.
Yes I’m wired differently
Therefore, you can’t fix me.
I’m perfectly made this way
By my Creator
Who sees good within me.

What I want to say matters.
Don’t shut me out.
I may look as though I don’t matter.
It’s possible yes that I think that way
But I have been a fool for
Not checking in with myself
To really see the truth of what I believe.
I am perfectly and wonderfully made
And I matter.
My thoughts matter.
My opinions matter.
My knowledge/experience of life matters.
There have been ideas and stories that I have been
Afraid to let out.
But not anymore.
