Reciprocation

Here I lie in my mind.. Torn between love and suffocation. Do they like me? Am I weird?
What I see doesn’t look right. My observations tell me otherwise.

     “Daughter in law”, many women have to earn that title. Sure it’s true that you may seem to “love” me but, is that truly so? Energy beams.

     I’ve tried to be myself in multiple situations. I’ve even put on a good first impression. Still not enough? How do you see me then? My gaze of wonder looks lonesome. I assure you, I’m fine. All I’m doing is trying to wind down time.

     My love, I have expressed what all I felt. It still has not been seen from my perspective. Energy is off because I have no reciprocation.
