Speaking To You

I’m starting to think I should stop
writing as if I’m speaking to you
Maybe then I’d get up to courage I need
to actually step up and try to fix things
rather than run away from opportunity
…but probably not
I’m pretty much stuck
I can’t seem to make the first move
and there’s no sign
that you even want things fixed
If there was
I wouldn’t be so afraid to approach you
(at least that’s what I tell myself)
You know me better than almost anyone
so you have to know that all it’d take
is a word or a sign
that I’m not the only one suffering
But those words and signs will never come
if I can’t get myself together
and actually do something

Rather than slink away in fea
