Happy Valentine's Day: A Poem

[luvablelilmonster]

What would happen

If I wrote a suicidal love note?

If I put my heart in a candy box

And left it at your door?<o:p></o:p>

Would you notice me then

Or would I still be invisible?

Would I still be just another face in the crowd,

Or would I finally stand out

And look better than the rest?

Would you reach through this darkness

And take my hand to save me

From the mask I hide behind,

Or would you let me drown?<o:p></o:p>

I'm forever chosen last,

Yet I'll forever be there to help you up

When you've lost your way.

What do I have to do to be noticed?

Why is it that I try so hard just to be ignored?

I'm kind, I'm helpful, I put everyone before me.

So why can't someone, just one person

Find me important enough to put me first?

Am I not pretty enough?

Am I not skinny enough?

What do I have to change to be noticed?

Why do I have to watch everyone else be happy in their love?

Even through this, I go on pretending

I'm alright with being left behind.

Everyone needs someone, even someone like me.

But for now, I will write this love note,

To put in this heart-shaped candy box,

Just to leave it at your door

So you can throw it away.

Happy Valentine's Day.<o:p></o:p>
