MUTE

it sums it up...i think

 

A word never escapes my lips

to afraid to open them and see what comes out

 

Inside I’m so vivid if only I’d let it show

I don’t have much friends you could guess by looking

 

I keep to myself with reasons unknowing

 

never the one to approach

never close to asking questions

 

remotely passive

 

What if I said hello?

 

Debates in my head: all my future moves

maybe that’s the problem

that I give myself time to think it through

 

hating rejection

 

yet I get up and make my way

to someone new

to my dismay

 

and as I near

my throat goes dry

my palms are wet

and my head screams no

but my feet disobey

a hint of courage

 

DENIED

 

it ends

with my desperate heart’s

 

I told you so

Its bordering on beyond good.

Title drew me in and it didn't disappoint. I like the idea of the internal narration ("Debates in my head: all my future moves maybe that's the problem that I give myself time to think it through")

Reflective and honest, it is something I'm sure may can relate to, but probably deny!

Wow, this is very good. I love it because I can definitely relate to it. I've always been afraid of rejection.
