I’m so tired.

I’m so tired of trying to be my best

In hopes that someone will see me.

In hopes that someone sees me not as potential

But as a future.

I’m bettering myself for myself,

But why am I the only one that sees it?

I’m making myself proud,

But I want someone else to be proud, too.

I want a shoulder to cry on,

Lips to kiss,

Arms to hug,

Hands to hold.

I want

Something.

Pathetic?

Maybe.

True?

Always.

I don’t lie,

I tell the truth.

I want to be transparent to be relatable to be trusting.

I want someone to see me and say “because of you I didn’t give up.”

Because of you, I made myself better.

I don’t know who you are,

But I want you.
