(I am significant I am significant because)


someone has thought of me
as they fell asleep
and in their dream
they whispered
my name into my ear
so I would always
remember
that when I was younger
my smile showed my teeth
and I sang the songs
of blue jays
on my birthday
he wrote me a melody
called mocking bird
I memorized it
and sing it in my sleep
as a reminder
that I matter


(hz)
I feel a spoken word poem coming on.

I think those two lines were my favourite. Lovely emotion throughout; the events you captured felt very personal and intimate, and the entire piece left me feeling included in some sort of secret. Great work!
