Fear

January 6, 2012

Courage is not the absence of fear; it is acting in spite of it

-         Mark Twain

The paradox of fear: It is either the catalyst for success or the trip wire for failure

Fear

I'm afraid to make a move, okay

Don't think it's cause I'm scared

Well, I am in a different way

It's just the way you stare

You look confused

Am I being confusing?

I'll try to make this clear

It’s just that I…

Well, times a losing

…Must get over fear…

Okay, here's the big news

I like you so very much

Is it odd that I love you so?

Do you feel as such?

I’ll walk away. I'm sorry…

I hope this isn't strange

It's just so hard to keep this in

This bottled is such pain

Are you looking for a happy ending?

As you continue to read this poem.

She tells me we're just "not that way"

And I walk on home alone….

I like the use of narrators voice in this poem, it makes it feel real. I can definitely relate to this fear. Very good! Thank you for posting.

the poem was a little odd but then again anyone that is scared will act odd so really this poem is really good

Yes, I really wanted to construct it this way. I think about the nerves I felt before spilling my guts before a girl. Then to be told that she only sees me as a friend .... Good times ...

[jason new]

ouch well it might stink that she turned you down but at least you had the guts to say it be proud, most guys cant even do that
