You Don't See Me

Something I wrote a little while ago...

You don't see me...
As I stand here awkwardly
Tugging at my hair
And feeling really insecure
Wearing my holey jeans
And a plane old t-shirt
With converse shoes
And black eyeliner...
The girl who just wants someone to love her
Someone to make her feel like she means something to somebody
Someone who will actually mean what they say....
And won't just use her for a little while before throwing her away...
You don't think of me
As I sit here thinking of you
I could be the girl of your dreams
The one you've been looking for...
The one you've been searching for...
But you don't see me
Don't think of me
Cause I'm not like the other girls
Primped up perfectly
With a flawless body
And a head full of hot air...
I'll never be like those girls...
But I honestly don't care...
I'm not going to try to be someone I'm not
I've done that before...
Tried to play a part...
Tried to be the girl I thought you wanted...
But not anymore....
So I'll just keep standing here...
Where you don't see me...anymore
And I'll keep waiting until someone walks by...
...and actually sees me...and will be that someone I've been looking for....
That someone who isn't you....
...anymore

You have great wisdom in your words. Not good to change for someone else. Better to have your dreams and goals and live for your pleasures in a life. I like this poem. You question things and pull out the right answers. I like the ending. A excellent poem.

I like how some of them seem to rhyme and others don't.
An amazing write! =)

Wow. This is like my whole life story. You make it so the reader really feels the emotions. It's a good poem, and I'm sorry that you feel this way. I know how much it sucks to be ignored because you aren't the prissy bimbo. Don't let him bring you down though. The guy just isn't worth it. Thanks for sharing and keep it up :]

I liked this a lot and quite agree with a lot that's written here, particularly the last four lines. Nice write.
