I can’t… But, Why?
By jfarrell
I can’t…
I haven’t prepared…
What if….
I could give a million reasons.
I can’t bare the humiliation.
A broken leg may hurt,
But… SNAP!
It’s over
Humiliation is barbed wire through the heart
Relived everytime you sleep
Re-experienced everytime you close your eyes
Always there
I can’t ask out a woman because the ‘No’
Is like using a boxcutter on my heart
For everyone to see
For everyone to laugh…. forever
Over and over I would relive that humiliation
I couldn’t help myself
And, that’s why
I can’t
Not pathetic
It is not pathetic because everyone has experienced humiliating moments in their life time. This poem is a fantastic poem because it exposes the cruelty of people and how we are so afraid to express our own opinions or to talk to new people because we are afraid of being rejected or being judged by others.
