I whispered to God I was more special

Heather Lydia Thornhill 1981 (Manchester)

Free verse
I whispered to God I was more special
That my meaning bridged more gaps than even he
I whispered to God my plan was more perfect
From each letter to my chartered course
I whispered to God my mind was more adept
That each fracture was a fragment of perfection
I whispered to God that I was incomparable
From the beat of my heart to the T in my surname
I whispered to God I was the better checker
That everything was related to my signs
I whispered to God that he loved me more
He whispered you can do better...
