Every Moment Poem by Maya Hanson

Can the moon
see me
I look to the stars

In every moment
I'm counting the steps
to get to the clouds

Can the trees
know me
I shout on the stage

Every moment I'm seen
sleeping on a raindrop
hoping it won't break
underneath me

Or am I too
insignificant
to be noticed by the universe

Every moment I'm drawn
up by my hands,
told to
Be good
Stay calm
Keep
on my feet.

And I do.
I race to the finish line,
I never sleep,
I'm walking on the frame of a future I'll never find.

But is it all
worth it?
