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

"I want to come over, I know you know. When you dance senses shiver and take a chance ... " 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

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.

And then ironically you'll talk to her and she'll be at a loss for words. You never know... Great poem though, I really enjoyed it. 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.
