A Girl

A girl is no one

a girl hides

behind a mask

knowing she is no one

and no one wants to know her

A girl is no one

blown into the current

by a gentle breeze

fearing she is no one

and wanting to be someone

Let's focus on both genders shall we? Great poem though! :)

Again, it's a Game of Thrones reference. Not meant to exclude anyone. And even if it wasn't, as a woman I don't feel qualified to write from a male perspective. I'll leave that to the male poets, who actually know what it is like to be a man.

Eh. I don't really care honestly The gender. Other people get offended. Whatev. I like the poem.

I applaud your skill in writing a poem that seems so simple yet conveys a message of great depth. I can only say, remembering my own tortured youth, that when others don't see you, it really is not personal-- they don't really 'see' anyone, including themselves. They don't understand that they-- and you-- and I-- are immortal beings traveling thru this world in mortal vessels for a brief time before we 'move on' to another world, another dream...but if you can awaken yourself, then you will see them-- and yourself--as you truly are.

How we don't realize we're worth noticing until we see who've we become as someone we're not... meaning, you just have to wait to find someone who appreciates you as you, and then hold them close till you can no longer stand one another. In my experience, I realized this too late. I hope it doesn't go the same for everyone else. There's only so much regret one can take.

Emotional write, very thoughtful. The way we crave acceptance and human interaction. Wanting what we do not have yet and when we finally get it, we are lighter, but at the same time disappointed that it was not all it was cracked up to be.

Good writing as usual Alexzandera... keep at it and take care.
