Become small enough, and maybe they'll stop asking you to be strong.

Become small enough, and maybe someone

will wrap a blanket around your shoulders,

instead of

another expectation...

Become small enough, and maybe they'll see

that you're tired.

Maybe they'll speak

a little softer.

Maybe they'll worry when you say you're cold.

Maybe they'll finally protect the little girl you've been begging them to notice.
