Sometimes I feel like I am numb Unknowing to this dream This anger's getting old I fear My pride I must redeem Goddamn these repetitious words I've pedalled on thus far Marching through the thorny road I stumble when it's hard Dare to pull me from the ground And lend a helping hand Lift me up and wring me out Fulfill my heart's demand I trouble on, my feet are sore I see her up ahead A smile's what I hope from her But get nothing instead I've touched her quick, she's smiled back Her heart I cannot take But something stops, pulls me away A risk I just can't make And so she stays, away from me I quietly depart Unbeknown to all who see This empty, starving heart Onward walking, I shall go With seeds I have not sowed Down the endless corridor With thumbtacks in the road
Reason for writing:
Most of my poems are written out of frustration.
My one true insecurity is in relationships. Because I am afraid to instigate them, I spend time sadly dreaming of a chance to succeed.
Here, I had just watched a dream walk away, because I was too afraid to tell her how I felt.
