-From Where I Am Standing From here I can see you, but not me, not us My shadow fades in the distance My light is dim in your glow I want to be noticed I want to be me You appear before me as someone I could never hold From where I am my arms can't reach you Your fear and rejection keep us apart My heart hears your voice and my eyes look for your answer The deafening silence tells me the truth Again I failed Again I feel that I am not worthy Worthy of your trust, commitment, respect Try to step into my aura and feel what the colour of loneliness feels like From where I am standing I pray I am wrong Emmett Patrick Finnegan
Reason for writing:
I wrote this poem as I am having difficulty meeting new people and
they seem to be threatened by my straight forward approach and
find it indimidating. I find this unusual as I am straight forward
so that I hide the insecurities and the fact that I am shy, self conscious
and that I made a mistake during my last relationship so I am going
to screw up the next one. I met someone very nice and we are talking
and getting to know each other but this poem is what it is like to meet someone
that I am interested in and I am thinking that I will mess up.
