Why Bother? Poem by Carla Pizano

Why bother, if you missed 14 years of my life,
Why bother, if you missed my first step,
Why bother, if my first words were dada,
Why bother, if you missed my first smile,
Why bother, if you wasn't there when i cried,
Why bother, if you ignored me,
Why bother, if you didn't care then,
Why bother, if you care now,
Why even bother if you missed all the greatest thing in my life,
So why even bother?
