I own my own earth

I give, I strive,? I bend, I buy,? But I’m always the one? Who’s hurt inside. I listen, I care,? I help repair,? But I don’t often? Get to share. No one asks? If I’m okay,? They leave me alone ?To slowly decay. But I want more— ?Where I’m not ignored. I see the note on the wall ?I feel myself begin to fall Am I not enough? Am I not tough?? Is life always gonna be this rough? No, I’m enough—? Stronger than they see,? I’ll hold my head high,?And just be me. They may not notice,? But I know my worth,? I’m more than their silence—?I own my own earth.
