Waiting

Waiting
By ME.

Sometimes I sit
Back and I listen
Sometimes I sit and I watch
Do you know what its like?
To be quiet and unheard
Do you know what its like?
I wait for change
I wait for excitement
Once I tried to step up
Once I tried to do for myself
Instead of waiting on you
That didn't work.
Now once again I wait
Is it better to wait?
Or to take a chance
Be brave
That didn't work
So now I sit
Back and listen
Sit and I watch

On my first read I felt the poem spoke to anyone who has ever experieince shyness. Then I read it again and I feltlike it was the thoughts of a person who had expeiernece heartache and pain and had withdrawn to get away. Good job.

Oh this is good. I have the same experiences, with a certain someone. I like the simplicity of your style.

interesting. there are times in my life when i want to not be the loud and abnoxious person that i can be at times. although, i do play the trumpet and apparently trumpet players tend to be loud and obnoxious. oh well. guess i'll have to get over it and always be heard... lol
