What you don't know


August Forster

written:8/19/16

What you don't know

I look at you, but you don’t know that i am.you prabably dont even know that i exist, but

 

thst doesnt stop me from looking at you. You don’t  know that i love your smile and the

 

way you talk. You don’t know that i see the world in you. Even if you were to look at me

 

you wouldn’t see anything special. Just an average girl. You don't know that i want to hold

 

your hand, and be in your arms. I know for a fact that  will never have that chance from

 

you. You don’t  know  how much i want to talk to you. Even if I did you wouldn’t talk back,

 

because I don't matter. I want to be the reason that you run into a pole. I know sadly that

 

will never happen though, for I am invisible to you, in my own loveless mind. You don’t

 

know how much I think about you every day.As fo I will never cross your mind. You don’t

 

know that this writing that I am writing is about you. You don't know my name, and I will

 

never be written down on your paper. I guess I am just lost in the facts of in which you

 

just don’t know.

My name is august Forster. I am 16 years of age, and i live in Ruidoso, New Mexico. At the age of 13, I started writing short stories. 3 years ago I was diagnosed with an extreme case of depression. I self- harmed for over 2 years.During this time I fell in love with poetry.I started writing about my feelings and my thoughts, soon i put them into poems. I have written over 45 poems in the last 7 months. Poetry was a medicine that wasn't prescribed to me, and one of the only ones that worked.I put power into my poems, make them mean something,and they all connect to me.I feel like some of my poems could change the way someone is to see another for the good.I am currently looking for scholarships and money for college. I hope that you enjoy my poems!- August Forster
