Tell Him Yourself

"Rejection is Love's worst fear."

Tell him straight out.

Don't hold back.

Showing fear

that will always

hold you back.

If you fear rejection

rejection will hurt worse.

If he rejects

 

true love will bring you together

if it was truly meant to be.

Keeping in the dark

you will never know

If he secretly cares.

As you see your first love

the one you feared rejection from

that was gotten to first.

Author's Note

Does the last three lines make sense? It's saying go for it before it is too late, because if you like them...chances are someone else does too.

I think the last three sentances make perfect sense. This is such a pertinant poem. This is great for someone who is afraid to start a relationship, but even those already in relationships can relate to this. I think you did a marvelous job of being simple and still putting forth complex ideas. This is going in my Library! I look forward to more from you.

it's really good advice =D. I hope that I can keep it in mind.

[Clouded in Hopeful Illu..]

I like this. It is very simple but it is complex in its meaning. I use to tell my friends the same thing all the time. No one can explain yourself better than yourself. If it is meant to be than everything will work out like it is suppose to. There will always be pain and fear. but that is apart of learning.

Thank you for sharing this with us.

"As you see your first love
who was gotten to first." ---- This last line doesn't make too much sense. Try rewording it to make it more effective.

If only every one had the prefect match. Once you found it, you wouldn't need to worry about loosing it.
Then again that might be a boring world. But then again it wouldn't have all the heartache, So perhaps a little bit of boring would be good if the heart would be able to stay happy.

Loosing a love, and having to sit back and feel the pain has to be one of the worst feelings ever.

Beautiful and touching poem that brings out that pain in techinicolor!

May the pools of insanity always run deep!

Oh how sad! I hate that feeling, of seeing the one you want with someone else instead. :( Nice job!

I got the thought, that if you walk past a flat rock and don't turn it over, you'll never know what's underneath it. Love is alot like that. Sometime one has to suck up their fear and just go for it. Like the first time a child rides a bike, or a hawk going hunting for their first mouse, since mom wouldn't get take out anymore.

Great Poem. I think it would flow just a smidge better broken into two stanza's But is really good as is, as well!
I would think the best place to break it, would be after the line that ends with the words "Rejects"

Your Friend,

I wish I'd brave enough to tell girls what I really felt when I was in my teens. It's good advice. Sam

True words, these. How many times have I held back from telling someone how I felt about them, only to have one of my best friends hook up with him. And you know, once someone has been with your friend, he's off limits! LOL! Good work!
