they

they all wonder
how little nothings
could mean something
    so much

to her.

is it because
she means
    so little

to herself?

is it because
she knows how it feels to be
    so lost,

and doesn't want anything else to feel the way she does?

is it because
she knows
    so much so soon,

more than she needs to at her age?

    she is young
    and she doesn't know
    why the world is such
    a cruel place,
    but it intends to make it known.
