Even those that came close
inches away
face to face
never noticed
over and over
again and again
it just proved
what she always knew
they don’t look
long enough
to see
even what’s right
in front
but she’ll hold
her breath
hopes up
head high
that maybe
just maybe
someone might
surprise her
and look
close enough
to notice.
