Now on with the story!

A much younger Todd sits at the table with his family, his food untouched in front of him. He sits across from his brother his parents on either side of the table. He bounces a little in his seat as his head moves from one area of the table to another following the family's conversations. Jeffery was glowing with pride at the report from his teachers on his commendable educational achievements and how colleges were already looking into him, and at such a young age! It was truly remarkable. And something to be proud of. Todd grinned at his brother from across the table. He greatly admired his older brother. And in some ways he wishes he was like him. The way Dad would smile at Jeff, Todd wished he would smile at him that way. But Todd didn't think to much into that. It was a passing thought. He was much happier living in the moment and thinking on that which wasn't so negative. As all younger ones are. He continued to bounce as the conversation continued.

Finally when everything else was said and their was that lull in the conversation Todd's mother turned to him. With a slight smile she asked "So how was your day, Todd."

Todd's bouncing became more apparent now that it was his turn. He had been waiting all day to tell his news. He excitedly started talking. "Well...!" As if what he had to say was of great importance. "Mrs. Wilson liked my reading so much that she let me read most of the story! We had to write a poem too! About something we love. Mrs. Wilson says that love is what drives a lot of poetry. Even the ones that are sad because they are sad because they lost their love..." Todd babbled on and on unaware that no one at the table was really listening to him. When finally he was finished he smiled happily in his seat. Then seeing everyone eating and not responding to the obvious completion of his tale he frowned for a moment. But only for a moment and then he picked up his fork and ate with the family.

I love you.

Isn't it apparent?

And all I want is you to love me too

There must be something wrong with me.

For you to look away and frown

I am not worthy of your love

I do not fit into your plan

Do I displease you?

I disappoint you.

I'm not what I should be.

Not how you wanted me to be.

I can't love me if you can't

But I don't deserve it anyway.

I live for the day

where I could smile and say

that it is love that I am immersed in

And be whole in that thought

And you could smile at me.

This is a poem about love

Because love exists

Even if it is not for me

I'm not sure where I am going with this. I kind of forgot. But I do have a basic idea. So I'm going with that. Please review. I am motivated by responses.
