…And I wasn’t ready
I’m just trying too hard
I really wanted to be more free
Open
Adventurous
But it’s just not me.
I let you in anyhow
Now I feel shame
What must you think of me?
Scared little girl
Unable to let go of
Her insecurities
Uncertainties
Can’t get out of her head
I thought that was your perception of me
Cause you weren’t willing to wait
So I let you in
…And I wasn’t ready
And you walked away
Never a backward glance.
Before I could even tell you I wish you’d stay.
And it was hard!
To go all that way
In that short while
Cause you needed me
And I am naive
Cause you make me smile.
And after,
I closed my eyes
And realized
It wasn’t worth it
I wasn’t worth it to you
And it’s ok
I’m ok.
You weren’t worth it to me
Too.

This is good. I don;t know if I'm reading it correctly or not but, it brings me back to the foolishness of my first time. He surely wasn't worth it and, after all these years I can still remember how I didn't like it. I enjoyed reading this.

nicely written
this touches alot of ppl who went through a similar situation if not the same. -
hmmm I can relate to this. It's good to hear another's perspective on the matter. I think I can understand your point of view and I'm glad I read this poem. I feel like it made me wiser (at least what's going on inside a girl's head sometimes) girls can be crazy crazy but you helped me to understand. You should show this to whoever inspired this poem. thanks for sharing.
