One cup of tea for the man in my life
Suddenly, a spill appears on the carpet
Two hearts beating together
But mine was pumping faster
Three reasons to love each other forever
Yet he couldn’t name one
For him, I would do anything
But for me, he would walk by
I continue to follow him
Wanting to know why he ignores me
He never acknowledges me
But I knew everything about him
When I finally look around me
I realize the truth
I am only a blurry figure,
When he is actually existing in life.
He is my dream,
But I am his nightmare

It reflects life and how everyone thinks they're not good enough for another person. I wrote this poem to make sure those who are insecure know they might seem invisible, but they will find someone to love, and that someone is them. "
