Background Watcher Of Love: A Poem

"Will I ever be good enough?

Background Watcher Of Love: A Poem

I see all these couples around me

their love radiating so big

laughter so loud

I can't hear my thoughts

he kisses her with so much passion

the sun becomes a spotlight

that shines on only them

I sit in the back all alone

no company but my lovable phone

and I'm suddenly thinking to myself

"Why can't I have that?"

My friends sit around me

talking about their past, future,

and wannabe lovers

only I can't relate

because boys only see me as

"Too nice" or

"Not good enough"

I'm forever sitting in the back

watching the action go on

but never taking part

too scared of what people will think

because of a boy who said

that I wasn't good enough

My friends ask for my opinion

but all i can offer is shrugged shoulders

with mumbles of "I don't know"

and I'm suddenly thinking to myself

"Why can't I relate to my friends about boys?"

he asks me for my number

innocently flirting with me

leading me on into his heart

only to turn around and ask me

"Who's your friend? She's cute."

suddenly my confidence is gone

heart broken into pieces

and my throat choked up

as I think to myself

"Will I ever be good enough?"

but I trudge on

forever hoping that one day

a boy will love me

and cherish me for my worth

kiss my lips

make me smile

see me as his whole damn world

because I am worth everything

I am not a penny

but a dollar

I'm worth more than the boy

who said that I wasn't

his pride and joy

I am good enough

to deserve love

even if I can't see that now

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

1. The Legacy.

Her sister was a member, her mom was a member, all of her aunts were members, and her grandma was a member. She has been waiting her whole life to wear these letters and cried hysterically on bid day. Although she can act entitled at times, you can bet she is one of the most enthusiastic sisters.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September. It becomes harder and harder to focus in classes and while doing assignments as the days get closer. The winter has been lagging, the days are short and dark, and no one is quite themselves due to lack of energy and sunlight. Let's face it: life is ten times better in the summertime.
