"This is a beautiful poem and I love the structure "
How long, O how long will it be
Until you will notice me?
Must I be like your friend
Or your own enemy
To be part of reality?
How long, O how long are you blind
That it's me you cannot find?
Your face you think you see
Because the water is clear.
However, I do not appear.
How long, O how long will you dream?
Wake up! We can be a team.
We can resist our foe,
Keep the friends we know,
And I, Yourself, welcomed home.

I'm saying that your poem is beautiful and I might have a couple poems that you like one is called Peter and Paul and one is called I think you're beautiful
We all seem invisible sometimes. I liked your poem

I appreciate how this poem talks about growing to love yourself. It is one the most important things you can do in life, and one of the least we focus on. If more time were spent growing yourself, less bad would happen in this world. Thank you for the reminder.

Your interpretation is half of my original message, except I did not have self-love in mind but to accept one's uniqueness and, yes (as you have stated) personally grow from there.
I shy away from using the term self-love because it can, if taken to the extreme, be a self-absorbed worldview. Nevertheless, I know what you meant by self love, and I do agree that we should not hate ourselves.
Thank you for reading my work, and I'm glad you enjoyed the poem.
Nice poem. I loved the structure as well as content.
