Good day and welcome to my blog. I am revising all my Previous posts, it’s mainly cause I’ve grown as a blogger and I’m wiser than I was , it would be fun for those who never got to see some previous posts and I’ll be adding a little special something. If you’ve read the previous post, then you’re looking at my first Poem (or should I say first serious poem), because the one on bread and beans (lol) was my first. I’ll disclose that one later in the future on this blog. So in this post, I’ll be giving you my experience, hoping you can relate to it, be inspired by it, learn from it, anything really, just don’t make the mistake I made. 

The inspiration to this piece was …..( we all know the four letter word). This poem was just me, putting my feelings down. It was on a Saturday morning, and I did what I normally did every morning that I didn’t have classes and that was to think about this one person. She had become my mind’s hobby, the favorite spot in my head sort of. Well, this time was special, I had an outlet to put down how I felt in words. So I picked up my “life book”(a small book I take with me everywhere), and I started to write. This episode of “thinking” was special not only because I wrote a poem on it but also because for the first time I was “realistic” with myself. My inner voice teased me saying “You do this so much, but you never get the courage to say it to her face”. And like my inner voice was telling the future till this day I haven’t told her( I plan on doing so in the nearest future ). Its been three months since this I wrote this post for the first time, since I wrote the previous sentence on planning to tell her in the nearest future and ladies and gentlemen, I haven’t told her yet. The nearest future never became a reality and I never understood why. I feel it was because it wasn’t specific, I just never manned up. The time was not specific, so I kept on finding perfectly logical reasons to not do so and everytime my mind searched it found. Remember that whatever you look for, you’ll find.  And that my friends is a first class example of what you inner voice can do. I went on to discover that inner voice’s tease gave birth to fear that held me back but I think its safe to say I’m over it now (after three months though lol). And then I continued, writing every way she made me feel not skipping a single detail and I ended up with my first poem. I still haven’t decided what the name would be. Through this, I took my first solid step in the path of poetry and its been a medium I’ve been addicted to since( its funny what love could make one do).

So learn from my mistakes and be specific about your time, and just man up. Confessing feelings aren’t anything to be afraid of, or a reason to live in self-induced paranoia, it’s completely natural. Life is too short, so if you have feelings for someone, confess them. Its too short to stay prisoner of something natural that you can’t control. So, if you are in the situation I was in three months ago, confess them, cause its only natural, its human. Don’t wait for the perfect time, cause there’s no perfect time, you only take time and make it perfect. And don’t be afraid of a no and not step out your comfort zone, cause your comfort zone is all an illusion if the person doesn’t feel the same way. So let them free, so you don’t waste your time on someone who doesn’t feel the same way, cause out there is someone who will.

That has been the behind the scenes(lol) to my first poem. Now, let’s make this fun. You’ve probably read the poem and might have a suggestion or two of what the title should be . If you do have, drop your suggestion(s) in the comment box and the most suitable one wins.

Have a lovely day.
