SHE

This poem is about a girl's emotional struggle in search of a safe haven of love.

She wonders who's gonna love her,
Who will ever admire her?
That an average-looking nerdy girl
Lost in her own fictional world.

A little clumsy she is,
With some careless behaviour.
A girl with unhealthy routines
And some unfulfilled deep desires.

She seeks true love and devotion,
In this fake world of lies and illusion.
She belongs to a place of stifled emotion,
Look at her struggling for just a little affection.

She endeavours with heart to be a perfect daughter,
To live in the society and maintain a good character.
She loses a piece of her own self for every love she gives,
Compromise, not just a notion, but a life she lives.

She needs someone's heart as a safe place to hide
From the ups and downs and the darkness she resides.
Someone who loves her for what she is
A person she can be her unfiltered version with.

What an irony, she writes of love,
But has never been truly loved.
She claims to be a good listener,
But her own thoughts have never been heard.

She strives to be perfect,
With a teeny spark of hope left.
Despite never being appreciated, she carries on,
Hoping someday her efforts will be won.
