Worth Something

Janet Kuypers
5/7/12

I new women
who had this issue
when they were
half my age.
They needed attention
from everyone
and anyone
that would make
them feel
worth anything.
I know
I’m better
than that.
But the only man
who ever
shows me
any appreciation
is the man
contractually
obligated
to tell me
I’m worth anything.
And when
I’m alone,
I wonder:
maybe
people think
I’m worth
something
when they
see me
from afar,
but...
I’m right here.
I want to be
worth something,
and I’m
right
here.
