SIGNIFICANT

Look at me, I am the same as them. Eyes like his, eyes like hers, knowing all they see. Nose wide, skilled, same as his nose, same as her nose. Ear perfect, hearing all which were taught, from his mouth, from her mouth. A sharp tongue given to me from her mother, her mother and her mother... Knowing what was said at birth, listening from the womb. Look at my hands, same as his hands and her hands. Same, as they touch the earth from which we come. Mighty hands, connected to strong shoulders. Run like the wind, knowing that it will lead you. Jaded roads, knowing at each turn you were there. I am significant, same as him, same as her.
