Shy girl
can't find any words
cuz baby he had me at hello
totally floored
don't know where to go
Close my eyes
count to ten
wish it could be over
but then awkwardness happens all over again
Same story different person
expression of my feelings can not be found
because rejection has always been my enemy
on this battlefield of love and lust
Tenative kisses faded on the lips
of the receivier
they were tenative on my end
in the beginning
but my redemption has been found
from those hard times
Shy girl
always the wall flower
waiting for that special guy
to ask her to dance
but he never comes
that's why dances are never half as fun
as they should be for her
Shy girl
always in the shadows of those
girls who should be supermodels
or just have the looks to be as such
they always get what they want
Close my eyes
count to ten
wish it could be over
but the awakwardness happens all over again
You're probably beginning to
wonder what I'm wishing to be over
so badly
it's that awkwardness around guys
that teenage mindset that
still exists in an almost 22 year old body (2 months away and don't forget 8/26 @ 6:57 pm i never do )
Rejection was never kind to me
all through high school and even now.
It's like a part of personality
doesn't want to leave me
cuz back then I was a shy girl
not knowing what to say
and it is quite possible
that I am still like that
that shy quiet observer
watching the couples pass by in the courtyard
that shy quiet girl
going after the rockstar type
or the rockstar wanna be type
and yes I'm talking about guitar players
Close my eyes
and count to ten
I just want it all the be over
all this awkwardness
only then will I break
free from the shadows
and be able to find true love.

This was originally going to be entered in a contest but it was hard for me to narrow my thoughts down to a poem that would be expressed in fifty words or less. My thoughts tend to ramble on forever.
