Chris Green Poet Rhyme

Sometimes It Sucks Being Me

Sometimes it sucks being me

Destiny staring me straight in the face
Senses are stirring on high
Watching my steps that I cannot retrace
Silhouettes form in my eye

Careful is something I must try to be
Though in my heart I resist
When someone wonderful stands before me
Something inside will insist

Never have I seen such beauty before
Eyes made of chocolate cream
A smile that shimmers like stardust so pure 
I must be lost in a dream

Wondering if I should say how I feel
Mention these thoughts that I bear
Holding emotions, afraid to reveal
Not sure if she’ll even care

But I’m too nervous, I can’t speak a word
Tongue tied in knots oh so tight
Sweating profusely, it’s kind of absurd
Not sure what’s wrong or what’s right

Oh well, I guess I’ll just move on my way
Leaving the unknown to be
Keep to myself things that I’d like to say
Sometimes it sucks being me

" First this took me to my own suckage, then bounced straight to Neil Young. I get this, it was me, but now I realize that in such a moment, that person is but my perspective of them and I can keep that no matter how the true them responds. Something like that. With yet another poem high from your writes, I bid you 'later.' All the best ... CayCay Chris Green September 3, 2018 at 8:14 AM Thanks so very much again my friend. Yup, sometimes we find ourselves in this position but like you said, we can keep our thoughts no matter what.

Seriously though, i know EXACTLY how you feel. It's like our words require some time to build up the momentum to say what we want... and by then the moment has passed ...Or maybe just me. Chris Green August 31, 2018 at 8:27 AM No, I think you are right one the money. :) Thanks so much Jesse. I appreciate your kind comments
