What To Do?

My friends love me,

I know they do.

But why must they

Tell me that I should do

Something that I am too shy to do?

They have told me to ask him out.

They've told me that it is all right,

To love him, a seventeen year old.

I was going to do it today,

But I chickened out at the last second.

Now, I have left him wondering

What it was that I was going to say.

I want to tell him the truth,

I even tried at Disney,

But all that came out was hey.

I want to tell him that I love him,

But I guess that'll have to wait.

Wait until he does what he is planning to do.

Wait until after winter break,

To find out if he likes me too.

I am naturally super shy,

I am definitely a coward.

To try so hard to tell him,

Then let him slip through my fingertips.

What should I do?

What should I say?

I don't just want him,

I need him here to stay.

I need him to live,

He has gotten me through so much,

But if I don't act soon,

I will lose my crutch.

He is my rock,

And he is my world.

But I just lost him,

And now I'm falling again.

I know I will keep falling for him,

Even though he isn't looking for a relationship right now.

I'm wide awake in the middle of my nightmare,

I saw it comin', but it hit me outta nowhere.

And there's always scars

When I fall back far.

Fallin' for him is as easy

As it is to say hi to your best friend.

He is perfect in every way,

Though he doesn't seem to see it.

I see it and I know deep in my heart,

He is too good for me,

But I know I'm gonna keep trying

To make him mine.

The heart is a strange thing. Fear, rage, hope, love, it all comes through as one big mess in the heart. If this is a story relating to real life events, I can relate.

[Nyx]

Yes, it is relating to real life events. All of my poems are based on things that have happened to me

[Rose Diamond]

The message is very well portrayed, and trust me, it's a very relate-able subject! The only thing that needs some work is the rhyming, I felt that it was an on-and-off thing, and it didn't really suit the poem well.

Anyways, another great job! Keep up the good work!
