POEM - Lamentation

Lamentation 

Will you be there?
Will you be waiting?
I have never known what it is to be strong
And I need to know what strength is.

Will you be there?

Will you cry?
Will you lose control?
Stand up and face your own powerlessness,
But I need you to know recklessness.

Will you cry?

Will I matter?
Will my voice always be a whisper?
Chiseled by silence, chipped edgy like quartz
I need you to know that voice gives meaning.

Will I matter?
