Become small enough
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.
