Am I worth it?

To you?

to me, most importantly?

Am I important?

In a sea of individuals,

I feel buried in the sand.

A granule.

But one adds to many,

And it somehow holds,

the water in its place,

If we matter collectively,

Than we must singularly.

Nature echoes this sentiment.

ecosystems thrive,

From one molecular structure,

To the next.

Even parasites have their place.
