It's hard to be the youngest,
No one listens to my voice,
My thoughts are called too small,
My choices never their choice.

I make them laugh when they're sad,
Bring them together when they fight.
But when the day turns to night,
I cry alone, out of sight.

I fix their hurts, but no one sees,
The pain that's growing inside me.
I just wish someone would say,
"You matter too, in every way."
