To Laugh at My Luck Or Cry at My Shame

by Amanda L Marron

Then there are the days that I act so stupid
And I don'Â’t think before I speak.
I'Â’m still sitting here trying to forget about the
Fun times we used to have together, before hitting
This patch of all the bad.
When I feel like IÂ’'m screaming at the top of my lungs in a crowded room,
But no one even turns their head to look at me

Â…and see thatÂ…

I'Â’m standing here trying to catch your eye.
Your fleeting glance, just a miniscule of your attention.
Why do I feel so ignored? Like a deaf mute, you pass me by.
Acting as if I wasnÂ’t there at all.

Â…but stillÂ…

I know the fault is mine. I don'Â’t need you to rub it in my face to know IÂ’'m the screw up.
Complications come back into play before I can catch them, and make them null.
Just when I thought things were going to be okay, they get all messed up again.
I'Â’m tired of all this stress, I just want it to end.

Â…and go backÂ…

To how we were. So happy and carefree, when I wasnÂ’t worried that every day might be our last.

Anyone can pilot a ship in calm weather, but doing it through the rough is what makes you good. It's the same for relationships.

You wrote exactly how I feel. How is this possible? Poetry oft speaks when we cannot. This flows so perfect, I felt like we were in the same room, visiting. Oh, the journey... —Jill
