Self image

Confidence, 

Something I do not have.

Self belief,

Something I wish I had.

Cowardice,

I have tons of this.

Fear,

Second nature to me.

How can I conquer my fear,

To woe the woman of my adoration?

My cowardice, overwhelms me every time.

How do I overcome my self doubt?

Everytime I work up the courage,

To dare to ask her out,

I am gripped by an uncontrollable trepidation. 

Why do I let this inferior complex bother me?

I communicate, joke, socialise, no problem,

But just let me think of asking her out...

I become the biggest wuss,

Afraid she will say no.

Why must we men always make the first move?

So much easier if they would just let us know...

Know they are intrested in us...

But would I then have the courage to ask?

Most likely not...

Why do I put myself through this self inflicted misery?

Why do I fear rejection?

I should just do it, ask her!

The worst she can do is say...no,

Oh hell...no...she will crush my hopes,

Send me running with my tail between my legs.

I wonder...could I actually ask her out?

Well, there she is, might as well get this over with.

Hi,

I was just wondering...would you like to go out with me?

Relate to my trepidation, ha, ha, have not been single for eighteen years, so I guess if I were to become single this would be me. :)

I was just remembering the first girl I had a crush on. She said no, though. I was only twelve back then. She did however ask me out two years later and I returned the favour. Since then have not had a problem with asking the ladies out...mainly my being in an eighteen year relationship.

Time

Specs of conscious dust,
Born from darkness
In life...till death,
In a fleeting moment...

Knife twist

Cold whetted steel
Pierces my heart,
As she twists the blade
And sadly smiles.

Depression

Depression

Rays of warmth and light...
Swallowed whole, in abysmal bleakness.
Continuous loathing fight...
