For Once

by Quinlan L Gibson

For once
could I come first?
Could I be written in pen
in your cluttered schedule,
versus a number two pencil?
Erasable at will.

For once
could I be in your front row?
First chair,
in your orchestrated time?

For once, just once,
could I be important enough
to come first?

The priorties that we choose are almost always askew. People should always come first. Great read and a lot to think about.

this has always been a feeling of mine ... no matter how hard someone tries,i tend to feel very "secondary"
