She is...

She Isn't some outstandingly beautiful girl
Or someone striving for perfection
Her face isn't caked in makeup

Why hide away her imperfections
When she knows she has flaws?

she's insecure

Quiet
unnoticed 
But always giving her all 

Holding onto the love she's been fortunately given
Holding on to the little things in life that make her happy 
Her family, her friends, and of corse... the one she loves the most

If only he'd open his eyes and see
She's tried all her life to be
everything he'll ever want and need

If only he'd see...
How much he means to me

Author's Note

Well yea.. :/
Will he ever notice how much she loves him?
Is being loved and cared for such a bad thing..?

I'm terribly shy so what do I know, but trying/carrying around that luv isn't a bad thing, but changing yourself into someone just to be noticed is... that's why I like this poem because your holding onto all the happiness even though you're unnoticed... things might come around in the end though;)

If he does notice how much she loves him, it can't be that appealing. This poem feels slightly, to me, as if she's trying to hard and not being natural. The cliché of the ages to 'be yourself' always rejects those silly actions that love causes us to perform - it's just not the person. Great write :)

Nope not at all :P Hope the guy notices because a true pure girl is that one you described

This reminds me so much of myself - I was that girl for so long it was painful. Beautiful poem, with great emotion. I love the way those last two lines pull the whole thing around. Great job :)

I completely understand how you feel. But, when I'm in that situation I think.... You can't help how others feel. So, I kind of just let things set into place. It sucks being hurt, and wanting something so much and knowing that you can't have it. Just keep your head up. Every bad thing happens for a good reason. Everything will work itself out, you might get hurt. You might not. You never know what the future holds. Things could turn out really good.
I wish you the best and I really hope everything works itself out.

I really like this because it seems so personal. Whether its fiction or not, a lot of people can relate to it and I think it's really good. Especially the beginning, I like the description of this girl Good job :)

Compared to your other poems I've read, this one lacks that emotional appeal only because it doesn't have any strong images to portray the emotions trying to be expressed.

The heart is where the best parts of somebody resides. You gave this girl a voice and have her noticed by one and all who read...he will see in time what we all have... :) Lovely write :)

Touchiing, heartfelt write. Its not about whats on the outside but the inside is what should matter the most.
