Trying to be someone your not is a waste of the person you currently are.

He sits across the room,
His eyes stare at me,
The most perfect crystal blue,
I see everything I’ve ever wanted.

I feel pain in my chest,
But if he’s what I want,
Were does this pain come from,
Why won’t it subside.

I’ve felt it before,
I recognize it,
It’s the pain of being afraid,
Afraid of losing him.

He wraps his arms tightly around me,
The only place I feel at ease,
Safe from any harm,
But still deep in my chest.

The pain goes on.

I wrote this while spending some time with my new found love. I thought it was a good poem so I thought I would share it with my friends at TeenInk. I hope you enjoy.
