You stand

You stand

A Poem by Just_Joshing

You stand before me, a sentinel of grace.
You stand against me, your blow I ready to brace,
You stand beside me, an equal, a friend.
You stand behind me, ready to catch me, or put me to end.

Where you stand, I don't know,
But my fear and anxiety continue to grow.
Trembling now, shaking, scared.
Thought I was ready, but in truth, unprepared.

Very nice! I saw this as the first stanza running through just where the "other" could stand, as a lover, a friend, an enemy, or a trusted acquaintance. It's like a flow of thoughts running through the speaker's mind about who and what this new other could be or end up being. The second section really demonstrates the reality of not knowing another person's intentions or what they could eventually be and where they may stand in realtionship to you. you really captured the anxiety and the Unpreparedness that is inevitable when dealing with another person, we can never read their minds, all we can do is hope. Good stuff, thanks for sharing!
