Dismissed Poem by Haley Akin

I have tried so hard
I have really tried to be
Someone who is there
But no one ever sees me
I extend many offers
I put myself out there
Often brushed aside
No one ever seems to care
I say I am done trying
But I know it is not true
I just keep on asking
As if I'll hear something new
I fear that I believe
It is not me they care about
With nowhere to fit in
I have a sinking sense of doubt
I know I have a value
It is sad so many miss
The friendship I could bring
If not so easily dismissed
