Silent Thoughts

To be chosen. 
 

That's all I wish for — to be someone's first choice. 

I watch from afar, lost in a sea of the bittersweet feeling 

As others are always chosen first, but never me, 

And I wonder why I can never be someone's first choice – 

A silent observer in the sea, longing to be, 

Longing to find a place where I could belong. 

 

Always the option but never a choice, 

Lingering in the shadows, quiet, and unseen, 

Hoping for someone to notice the light within me. 
 

Each day I wonder if I'll ever be seen, 

If someone will notice the ache in my heart, 

Or if I'll remain a whisper, echoing in the silence, 

Longing, forever waiting, for the moment I can finally belong.

    Unapologetic

    You'll learn quickly that this world isn't for the weak,

    It's a storm that will drown you if you don't know how to swim,

    So learn quickly!

    Unshaken Dreams

    Walking the path that I've always dreamt about,

    Never caring what others might think of me, 

    Never did I once stop thinking about those

    Who do not see me as worthy.

    If Only

    If only I had that strength then things would have been different.

    We would still share a home,

    Memories that we once shared 

    With laughter and love
