Validation

What would it be like

to not need validation

to walk through life

able to live

just knowing people care

to sit alone in my room

and not have this sense of dread

that i mean nothing to everyone

that i am the extra in everyone else's stories

what would it be like

to not fill dead space

with technology and noise

to drive in silence

safe with my thoughts

just knowing people care

to take a walk at night

afraid like all the other girls

who listen to kidnapping stories

instead of knowing i would never be taken
