needs.
you have them,
i have them.
yours matter.
mine don’t.
im busy –
trying to fulfill your needs.
you’re busy,
ignoring mine.
perhaps unintentionally, but-
when i speak,
you don’t hear mi.
when i cry,
you don’t see.
when it comes to my needs
you don’t seem to care.
when, if ever-
will my needs matter?
when, will you stop being too busy
and care, and see, and hear?
and will it be too late?
for needs, my dear,
my needs
too- cant wait!
