The Player

If you grow through your life
and the people who matter
don’t see you grow.

Where’s the value?

If you find someone to love
and the people who matter
don’t see her as you do.

Did you love her?

When you played well
but the people who matter
didn’t see you play.

Were you - just a player?

If you achieved your dream
gained success -
but the people who matter

Didn’t bear-witness.

Did you ever really succeed

at anything?

Were you just a player……amongst many?
