You Don't Get It

Just a Poem About a Struggle

By Kaylee LeithPublished 5 years ago 1 min read

Ich liebe dich

But it’s only an itch.

A longing

Of wanting to belong.

Somewhere...

Maybe over there?

But never here...

But guess what!

There’s 7 billion 46 million people on the planet

And most of us have the audacity to think we matter.

But I know that’s not true...

Otherwise I’d be with you.

But all I want is to feel like I matter

Or that maybe I belong.

But I don’t.

I know I’m just as unimportant as the stranger you just passed by

That doesn't matter now, does it?

It shouldn't

It couldn't

Because how could you love someone like me?

Im as far below average as anyone could get.

But you don’t get it!

And that’s okay...
