I'm hopeless

I'm hopeless

A Poem by Carmen Williams
"

why can't I just talk to him?

"
Outside, 
I politely nod and smile
not a sound escapes me 
besides a simple yes or no
I'll laugh at his jokes
I'll keep my distance when I can
I won't say hi
unless he says it first

anyone could say I'm harsh, mean, inconsiderate
and countless other horrible things
but really 
I'm just shy
and inside
a war is going on

my heart aches
my stomach hurts
I feel like I'll burst with joy
everytime he talks to me

and a  mental war continues
he likes me 
he hates me
I like him
he'll never know
It's hopeless
but is it?

because even after
seeing me talk openly with friends
then be quiet and awkward around him
after responding politely, then running away
he keeps coming back

Silence is the best option for your self. It enables you to see the world. If your loud you miss things
