This was something I thought of when I saw the KDrama, "She was Beautiful" and they were talking about Renoir's Dance in the Country (look for the hidden character here.)
***
the peeping girl
the blue sky
the distant mountain
the silent person
the still whisper
the image you pass by but rarely see
in front of you
but you don’t register
someone who acts like a secondary character
in her own story
how unfortunate
when she has so much to give
maybe she’s waiting?
waiting for someone to see her
behind the curtains
someone to ask her
to join the dance
or
maybe
she decides,
"if he doesn’t see me
maybe
I should let myself be seen
and if he still doesn’t see
I know
someone
somewhere
will...
or will they?"

We all desire to be wholly seen, to be fully known, and to be deeply loved.
