Looking from afar,
I wanted to win this war.
Dying to get your attention;
As we all drown in tension.

Feeling so Foreign.
A feeling I can't comprehend.
I’m starting to accept,
I am perfectly imperfect.

You came into the room.
Stared at me and I assumed,
Will he dare to pick me?
Will I be enough for him to choose me?

Glance so piercing,
I feel my heart slowly shattering.
Once again I’m rejected.
I’m something no one wanted.

I'm still a book stuck on a shelf.
In this book, a story dwells.
Undesirable on the outside,
But I conceive beauty inside.
