Don't Get Excited

Don't get excited.
This isn't for you.
You deserve so much better
And I feel the pressure.

The pressure at the tips of my fingertips
Pushing these keys.
Searching for something to say

But right now,
I just can't.
I can't give you what you need.

Don't get excited.
This isn't for you.
This isn't a piece.
It's a confession.

This is me admitting,
That I'm not ready.
To be vulnerable.
I need to take things slow.

Don't get excited.
This isn't for you.
Not a single word of it.

I like this poem. but with fear you are never going to be truly happy.

A great poem. Sometimes when we admit to poesy others' expectations of us are incredible, as if we are Shakespeares and Angelous. Instead, we come just who we are, not offering pieces but confessions as this poem eloquently states. Thank you for sharing!

Sounds like someone is in denial! A conflict of heart and head (mind).

A very curious poem! Most def made me want to know more about the characters involved in this writing.

The reader is there with the writer she tries to find the proper words that will convey the complexity of her feelings. Difficult to achieve. Usually. Good stuff.

We cannot give ourselves when we are not ready to, it is not fair to the other person... nicely done.
