Underappreciated, Overlooked
by @nik-bland
You are more
Beautiful
More brilliant
Reminiscent of stars
And librarians
With their glasses
Hooked on strings
And yet I am
Here
Wait for you
To notice me
To find me
To love
Something
About me
And you speak to me
And post your
Little
Self deprecating
Harmful
Hurtful
Thoughts
Of how you’re
Unloved and alone
The room
You’ve locked yourself
In
Is shut
Unopened
Do not disturb
With walls lined
In black
But with
The light off
And your hands
Over your
Beautiful
Wide
Tear-filled eyes
You fail
To see me
Wanting to
Love you
