Looking for Affection

Long blonde hair, fair skin, big gray eyes.

Longing for your attention, but you don't notice.

I want to tell you, but maybe that is unwise.

Would it even matter? Would your response be like ice?

Do I have any hope? Are you like me?

Never knowing if your looks mean anything.

Do you want me to try? Or should I let you be?

You could have anyone, and I have nothing to bring.

Oh, you have written something here straight from the heart, and that is a beautiful thing. This is a tough stage of life for a girl, I KNOW, and I want you to know you have so much more to offer than you think. Take this time to grow and learn, to find what YOU really like, what YOU really need, who YOU really are and the rest will come, and much more easily so. Good poem... Thank you for sharing with us..

The sad reality of some relationships. Thanks for sharing.

Some relationships just aren't meant to be. Thanks for reading, Brandon.

Without doubt, that is true.

Many times we crave for the attention of the one we love, to get noticed.. Quite relatable. Nice reading it ☺

Who said beauty had it's drawbacks. Do you wait for attention, go and get it.
Maybe the person doesn't want anyone, just you. Isn't life complicated out there.
Sometimes you just have to jump straight in.

Thank you for reading.

Hello, this sings of those uncertain youthful years, settling into ourselves our skin takes a little while.
It's a challenging path moreso for young women, I know this well :) A beautifully expressed piece.

Yep...this reminds me of growing up and having to confront the awquard teenage years of life. Also in a funny way it reminds me of my clubbing days of being unsure of whether or not to go up to a girl or not.

Oh happy days.

Great read...with a lot going on behind it too,

Mark.

[Hannah]

This reminds of the growing pains that come with the teen/young adult years. It takes a while for many of us to become comfortable in our skin and confident.

[Hannah]

Very true. Thanks for reading, Papaya.
