You have no idea

i get nervous around this person and have no idea how to act so im just "boring"

You have no idea

This nervousness I feel every time we speak

The wanting to talk to you but too afraid to say

Something stupid

I come off as boring but that’s only because I fear

Fear of what you think of me

Fear of losing you to someone else

Someone who’s better than me

I stay silent only because I want to hear your thoughts,

Experience your point of view

You have no idea how every day I wake up

You’re the first image in my head

and the last before I sleep

You really have no idea

How hard it is to fake a smile when

I see you with her

How I hold back these tears and

Anger just wishing that I was

In her shoes for one day

Author's Note

i would love some criticism and advice so don't hold back

You take on an age old experience here...but each person that goes through it feel much like this. I like the first line bolded and the placement of the poem. You have spoken your heart and it comes through in this piece. The mother in me wants to question you on the line, "Fear of losing you to someone else
Someone who’s better than me" - no one is better than you...different perhaps, maybe even more compatible with someone else, but not better. This is not to in any way criticize the poem, because I think in the depths of us we all have that feeling....as I said, I just want to remind you about that (sorry I'm a Mom ;)

I understand the boring out of fear thing. I am by nature a very careful creature. I enjoyed reading this and I understood it perfectly. I like your writing style. simplistic and to the point.

Fear is a powerful beast, from a band performance to life changes... This poem captures it in all of its greatness. I like it :)

Wow, I use to experience this feeling. The reason I say "use to" is because recently I decided to push him into the past where he should've been a long time ago. I really do enjoy this poem. I can relate to it a lot. So much emotions and feelings towards a person. I know how it feels to want someone that's taken with someone else. It would make me cry each and everyday. Ever since I let him and our memories go, I have been smiling and I've found someone much better. This poem has no mistakes whatsoever and doesn't need any improving. It's perfect just like this :)
Outstanding job.
