What Everyone Else Thinks

by Carmen

My confidence has risen,
I have begun to shine.
All the girls think I'm pretty,
And the guys think I'm fine.
I should be happy,
This I know,
But what I want is you to notice me,
Now that I glow.

I smile and blush,
As they compliment on what they see,
But the only opinion I care of,
Is of the man that's not looking at me.

Can't you see,
Who I'm doing this for?
I know we silently like each other,
But baby, I want more.

Now what you think,
Is a thought I'm willing to dare.
What everyone else thinks,
I really don't care.
