Baby, can't you see me?
See me here waiting
Waiting for you to understand
Understand why I love you
I love you for your humor, your love
You love, your mind - you.
Did you ever think
Think I'm not the only one?
The only one who know you care
Care about love, life, happiness
Happiness that turns into hate
Hate that makes you feel
Feel sad, lonely, unloved, hurt
Hurt, maybe feel some sympathy?
Youre not the only one hurting
Hurting other people isn't okay
Okay yo talk about, but hurting someone
Someone else so you don't feel
Feel so upset about who hurt you
You, babu, know it doesn't have to be this way.

2012 I was navigating grade 8 and have continued on adoring the art of poetry since. This poem has had many different meanings over the years.
I do hope it fines you well. I'm excited to explore more communities within the arts.
