In today’s noisy world, where everyone’s trying to be heard, it’s easy to feel lost and small. We’ve all been there—wondering if we matter at all. My poem is all about that journey from feeling alone to finding a deeper connection and self-awareness.

Significant You. No one listens to my thoughts, so I pray to Thee, I feel so alone...insignificant me. No one understands my vision, they say let it be, I feel so alone...insignificant me. If only they could feel what I feel and see what I see, I feel so alone...insignificant me. Then God said to me, “I hear your thoughts and share your vision too. You’re not alone ...significant you!”

At the heart of it, the poem talks about feeling misunderstood. The opening lines capture the loneliness of having thoughts that just seem to bounce around without anyone really hearing them. When I wrote, “No one listens to my thoughts, so I pray to Thee,” I wanted to express that feeling of being invisible even when surrounded by people.

 

The feeling of isolation gets stronger with, “No one understands my vision, they say let it be.” It’s about the pain of having ideas that others just can’t see. This kind of dismissal feels like a rejection of who you are, leaving you in silence. It really highlights how lonely it can be when your passions go unnoticed.

As the poem moves on, there’s a real longing for empathy: “If only they could feel what I feel and see what I see.” This is a universal cry for validation—a wish for our inner world to be acknowledged by others.

 

Then comes a turning point with a divine response. When I wrote God’s whisper, “I hear your thoughts and share your vision too. You’re not alone ...significant you!” it was about offering comfort and empowerment. Even when the world seems indifferent, there’s a higher power that sees our unique contributions.

 

The change from “insignificant me” to “significant you” is powerful. It’s a journey from feeling overlooked to embracing your own worth. This transformation is about finding comfort in divine recognition and realizing your own value. It’s a gentle reminder that significance comes from within, not from others.

 

In today’s fast-paced world, this message really hits home. We often tie our worth to external achievements. My poem challenges this idea, suggesting that true significance is something we find within ourselves. It encourages us to find strength inside and seek purpose beyond the world’s fleeting opinions.

 

I also hope my poem makes us think about our relationships. How often do we brush off others’ dreams because they’re different from ours? I wanted to nudge us to be more empathetic, to listen deeply, and to validate other people’s experiences. By doing this, we create a world where everyone feels seen and heard.

 

Practically, this means really listening when someone shares their thoughts or dreams with us. It means fighting the urge to judge or dismiss different ideas, and instead engaging with an open mind. It means recognizing that everyone has something valuable to offer.

 

Ultimately, my poem is a reminder that we’re never truly alone. Through faith, introspection, or community, connections are out there waiting to be discovered and nurtured. By embracing this interconnectedness, we can move from isolation to a sense of belonging and purpose.

 

It’s time to Focus On You, Okay! – by focusing on your journey from feeling insignificant to significant, realizing the power you possess. As we navigate life’s twists and turns, may we find strength in knowing we are never truly alone and that our thoughts and dreams are important in life’s grand tapestry.


To the women reading this, remember: your voice matters, your dreams are valid, and your presence is powerful. Embrace your unique journey, and know that you are seen, heard, and celebrated.
