plays on the radio
are songs
about how deeply
a boy and a girl
can love
and how great it is.

And all my friends talk about
is what their boyfriend said
or why they love him so much.

And every time they say it,
I build another layer of bricks
around myself.

I hide myself from the world with my wall
but I can only build from the outside in
and the space inside gets ever smaller.

Now I can only stand
can't find a comfortable
way to stretch

This is what it means
to be uncomfortable
in one's own skin.

My room is too small

But no one wants to help me break free
from my cocoon of loneliness.

No one wants to tell me
what I'm doing wrong.

And why I don't get to go to Homecoming
with someone I love or even like.

Or why I don't go to the movies every weekend and wrap my arms around his neck.

Or why I
don't get
love songs
cooed into my ears.

Lament to Love (or Lack Thereof)

He's out there.... he's just taking his own sweet time finding you... mayhaps he's lost?

When wanting so much is all you can hear... You have expressed what has and will happen at some point in everyone's life. Nicely presented with such truisms. Well done.

While every care is taken to ensure the general sites content is family safe, our moderators cannot be in all places; all the time. Please report poetry and or comments that are in breach of our site rules HERE (Please include poem title or url). Parents also please ensure that you supervise your children well when they are on the internet; regardless of what a site says about being, or being considered, child-safe.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
