I wake up lost
But a small voice says I’m here
I wake up thinking no one needs me
But a small voice says they do
I wake up feeling insignificant
But a small voice says I’m not
I wake up aching with lonliness
But that voice says I’m not alone
I wake up empty
But I know I am full

I want to believe that voice
But I wake up thinking it’s lying

I spend my day letting it convince me
I to go bed found, needed, important, befriended, fulfilled

But I wake up lost
I wake up craving validation
Hungry for attention
starving for that small voice
which some days
is too small
and too weak
