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..?

We all go through this. I think you should take the risk and tell him!

Toward the poem... it is a good and thought-full read.

As a comment - comes a time when you have to speak up or just let it go. If the other says "No thank you" you aren't any worse off... and if they don't the two have a chance they wouldn't have had. Little signals as perceived by the giver are seldom understood or even noticed as such by the intended receiver. Few have an impressive education or an extensive background in supposed signal recognition. It's a shame too - it could be useful!

Beautiful and so heartfelt
Wonderfully written

I'll rather grow up less beautiful and use the opportunity to develop my qualities and then later, get a facial at the saloon. On balance, its a better choice of worlds. That's the swan nobody realized she was. Nice write!

The girl next door. I like the one who is flawed and knows it. She seems to be a real, pure person and I love that very much. I like this piece.

simply cute :)

There seems to be two different parts to this poem. One part about the girl and another about her love for him. They tie in together nicely, so it works. I liked those end two lines, they end on the right emphasis.
