Poetry / Nothing But Hope

I’m just me
Nothing special
Why is he interested?
I just don’t understand
Why would anyone be interested in me?
I’m nothing special.
Nothing to be admired.
Nothing to be acclaimed or adored.
I’m just a girl with brown hair and glasses.
Nothing notable.
Why does it make me feel scared?
That he is interested
Why do I break out in a panic?
When someone wants to talk to me
It can’t be me he’s interested in
I’m nothing. Nothing important.
Nothing memorable.
Nothing worth mentioning.
And yet from nothing arises hope.
Hope of a future shared.
Hope of a hand to hold,
And a mouth to kiss.
Hope that at last the feelings will be returned.
Hope that I won’t push him away.
Hope that he’ll stick it out
Hope that I will too.
Nothing can stop this hope
It wakes me from my sleep.
Keeping me aware that,
Maybe, just maybe
I’m something.

I love this poem. It’s innocent, sincere and hopeful. Good qualities in ourselves we sometimes do not see until another sees it and shows us. The mind, technically, can’t be seen but something tells me that ‘he’ saw it and fell in love.
