I did everything I could. To please you. To be seen by you. Waited all night till the nightmares passed. Till you could only see me.
The day never came. While I saw stars in your eyes, you only had eyes for others.All that came was the dark clouds of self-doubt and self- worth.
I doubted that maybe I didn't love you enough. Perhaps, I didn't show it enough. Did I over-do it?
Not once did I think, "They must be blind."
Honestly, I think about it a lot. Why do people I care for, never care back as much? Why don't they care if I smiled today or if it's real, while I cared about every single thing they did?
But now I know that I am never gonna be enough. People are selfish. They just wish to take and not give. And though, I'm aware of it, I still cant help but wonder -
"Will I ever be enough?"
