Who I Am to You

A Mini Existential Crisis

I wish I felt like a daughter.

I wish I felt like a girlfriend.

I wish I felt like someone's best friend.

I take in false hope to feel accepted because I want to be loved by someone.

By anyone.

Who am I to you in this reality?

Your reality? I should ask.

Surely, my mere existence could be of any real importance.

I'm not royalty.

I'm not wealthy.

I have no talents.

So what is it that you see in me?

I see a girl hoping she'll see tomorrow and another tomorrow.

Am I worth one of your tomorrows?

Will you show me exactly who I am to you?
