Nobody owes you anything.
Not a hello,
not a reply,
not a smile.
Nothing.
Then why do I keep
thinking that
someone
will once remember
the small things I tell -
the dots and commas,
not the sentences?
Why do I keep
wishing that
someone
will want to
hold me in their arms?
Why?
Why am I so naïve?
I should've known,
but I can't see,
truly,
what the reason is,
that I am not enough,
never ...
Nobody owes me anything.
Especially
their respect.
And acceptance.
But I still
keep dreaming
that I'll be
someone's dream
one day.
Because, truly,
I can't see.
