The WorstA Poem by John ByrdYou know the worst feelings When you want someone so bad And it’s like you have them But you don’t. It’s hard to explain. You try not to feel anything You try not to let it affect your mood But it literally does every single day and second. You don’t want to seem needy But isn’t all we really want is to feel loved. We want attention. Time is all we ask for. Am I asking for too much? Something so simple Made complicated. Unnecessary complications. One of the most abundant things on the planet. I just can’t run from this I try. I really do. The crazy part is Everybody else seems to want me more. I don’t want them. It’s too easy But you You’re hard. I don’t like challenges. That’s probably a lie. The more I try to go away from you The more lost I get. There’s no escape. I think I have to face it. It’s a part of growing up. I’m not the only person who feels this way. It’s pretty common. Come to me baby. Be mine. Let me hold you forever. I don’t want to let go. Love me? Please? I sound pathetic And Desperate. I can’t help but shake my head. I’m too intense. I’m crazy. I’m clingy. I’m not that great of a guy. Excuses. We love those. Growing up is hard. I’d rather have less feelings And not know what I know. Life is short. So I’m trying to get you while I can. It’s like I don’t trust God’s plan. I worry When I shouldn't. You just seem so perfect to me. When you’re gone you seem terrible. When you’re with me you’re too good to be true. Two extremes. I think that phrase explains us…. © 2014 John Byrd |
