*ahem* Poetry? No duh...

Another poem, the writing quality is mediocre, but I felt I needed to pour a glass of my heart out.


Unsung

You stare at the floor
Wishing you were someone else
You’d take back everything you said
Knowing nothing would turn out right.

You are so blind.

You look at your reflection
Seeing nothing special
You dream of big things
That you never expect to see.

Don’t look so surprised.

You wear the same pained expression
Day after day after day
Hating your own existence
Wondering why you’re here in this way.

I know the way you think.

You grimace as people walk by
Not wanting them to see you
Not because you’re at all shy
You just believe no one would want you.

But I see you, in a different light.

You care when others hurt
You comfort when hope is lost
And nothing can stop you from
Standing up for your friends.

Can’t you see?

Your faith is inspiring
Your loyalty rivals that of many
A better person to trust
I have never had.

This is how I see.

Believe me when I say
My friend,
I wouldn’t have it any other way
Because you mean the world to me.

You are my unsung
Hero.
