If You'd Like to Know Why...


- perspective:  when plagued by shaky self-confidence and self-esteem...

i don't talk to you
because i like you,
but it's more than
that, i admire you,
and i feel i am
less than you.

then awkwardness
never misses a beat -
what is there that i
could possibly bring
your way that is good
or relevant, even.

i don't talk to you
because i like you,
but it's more than
that, i admire you,
and i feel i'll never
have a place near

your
worthwhile
interest.

You captured my feelings so well with this little piece! It's such a bad feeling, being near that person you really really like and fumbling and stuttering!

You nailed it! I know that feeling oh so well, sadly enough. When it comes to that perspective, it seems to me that people see what they want to see. I have trouble with eye contact sometimes, and with being awkward.... and I have had people assume a lot of really bad things about me because they don't understand that it's just part of my personality, the built in belief that anyone I like or look up to is far better than me, and I just don't feel worthy of so much as a glance..... I really love this! ~

i do not seem to share this trepidation-- all the time... though i Feel you. i have a big ego... along with the fact that i have been told that part of my make-up is that i have "something" for everyone i meet. i Feel duty bound to open(keep open) mySelf up or lower boundaries, you Know?

Oh how I have felt this way so very often. So much honesty and truth in these words.

Yeah,
Sometimes we like someone so much that we do no approach that person for the fear of losing him or her altogether, and break that spell of having that person near you in imagination at least...
Dear F.i.in.e Moods, I can see you have not been to the site for a long a time, just like me.
Any way, just wanted to reach out to you...
How are you?
I hope everything has been fine with you?
(((Hugs)))
Love,

very deeply expressive, moving, and raw with honesty.

This is so gently expressed...Yes we often do avoid those we admire the most, for fear of humiliation in their light.

Happy Monday

Smiling at you

Love this piece- a sentiment I can relate to. I like how you spaced "your worthwhile interest" from the previous stanza that ends in near...it materializes that distance you describe. a very effective poem that I found to be a pleasure to read..well done

A little late to drop in, but I made it here... nevertheless.
Glad I did - this is a very visual, very honest piece. I can relate to it, I've been there.

:)
How have you been?

Yeah, it some times does happen that you can't talk to some one because you are not sure that you will come up with something profound enough. But, on the oter hand, if you like some one then it is better to tell him or her that you do, because if you do not, how will he know? Secondly, let me tell you my dear friend, there is nothing more profound and more beautiful then truth. So, don't be shy, express your feelings, becasue they are beautiful!

Love, Zoya
