Important?

2/18/2019
what makes me important?
my eyes don't shine brighter than any others
my smile doesn't excite the heart
my touch is cold: it never sparks fire
my gaze is blank & lifeless
my voice trembles when I speak
my mumbled words aren't spoken clearly
you could pass me on the street and never notice i was there
i serve you as much as a loose eyelash waiting to be swept away
i am not important to you
i am not important to me
i am not even important enough for you to read this letter
what makes me important?
nothing
