I Sometimes Wonder... Poem by chantelle ribeiro

I sometimes wonder
Am I worthy?
Do I matter to the world?
To you?
Or am I just present
A fixture you've grown attached to
A shadow that keeps you company
when life's storms weigh you down
Your anchor
Your rock
I speak the words you only think
I am your voice
I say the things you want to hear
I take away your every fear
But do you hear me?
Do you see I am even here?
Sometimes I break
Lie shattered at your feet
while you just step right over me
