You Matter

An ode to your importance

You matter. You are a gem to the core of the world and you know it.

Seldom does the surface world ever show it.

Let your pessimistic thoughts take a cease.

This anxious world is not loss. It’s you who grants it peace.

You matter because you make life worth while.

Every sad face evaporates when you make it smile.

Beautiful are the hidden thoughts about you.

Stick around or else the world would be lost without you.

You are the source of joy raining on everyone from above.

You’ll always matter because you are the very definition of love.
