Unseen.
I am just
there.
Not a girl you would
notice amongst the crowds
Not one who would
catch your eye.
I am not
conventionally attractive
or very smart
or athletic
or interesting
and it's not me
being humble,
it is just the truth.
My friends say
trust God
He will bring the
right boy
into your life
at the right time
but maybe
I don't want to meet
the right boy
first.
Maybe I want to
go out with other boys
and have a boyfriend
in high school.
They tell me I'm lucky
to not have to deal with the drama.
They have boyfriends
or someone they are talking to
they do not understand
what it is like
to go unnoticed.
I do not shine when
I enter a room
but I am instead
a dim light
surrounded by many
bright
colorful
beautiful ones.
They don't understand
they are just sympathetic.
It's hard to understand
being unnoticed
when you are always seen.
