Awareness
Sometimes it’s not in the searching
But in the realization of what is already there
Our struggle to become someone else
The desire to make a difference in the world
Searching for a spouse who matches our list
Thinking fate is out there beyond our reach
When in fact, it is often staring us in the face
Forget the fake façade of unreality TV
Do your best become indispensable
And finally open your eyes
See that person across the desk
Who has been there with you all along
Biding their time
Waiting for you to realize
That
Sometimes it is not in the searching
But in the awareness of what is already there

Roth Poetry 
When we stop the search and choose to be aware, we have chosen to express to our person how much we accept and care .

I enjoyed this poem.
If I could bang with a hammer in order to prevent myself from being too aware I would do it in a second. I notice everything. Even when the person across the desk isn’t looking my way. I’ve been told not to look so “bitchy”, to smile more and to look up myself, but when I do, there is not return. It hits my self-esteem badly.
