does it matter:

what i did

who i wanted to be

what i ended up as ...?

in the end i will just be
six feet under the ground
or scattered across the deep blue sea
with nothing more
than a haunting memory of
a face that isn't quite

here or there,

nothing but whisper of a name

across lips that don't like to speak.

i suppose i started off with
the wrong question.
this isn't
what i want to know.

the thing is, will i be remembered
if all i've done is
exist in ordinary —
if all i've lived is
average at the very best?

have i touched enough people?
made a difference in their hearts?
if i am not here tomorrow
will someone ask

where is she?

where has she gone?

where will she be?

will they notice my absence?

i suppose
what i'm trying to
ask is if i matter.

(i hope that i do.)

otherwise entitled:
"what if i go?"
