You Don't Know Me

This is a great observation and conclusion: " am no longer invisible But vulnerable, naked" I remember one time I was at a concert and I saw someone that I didn't want to talk to. I didn't want them to see me or anything so I worked on making myself invisible. And it worked. They didn't see me at all. Have you ever tried to make yourself invisible? We can do it.
I apologize for not getting back to you I don't know it's been probably 2 weeks or something I don't know what I'm doing. I just don't seem to be in the right rhythm. I'm not doing a lot of the things I used to do. I'm connecting with you...Hey hi.

I can understand this .It is comfortable to watch peopleaslong as they dont watch us.The self confidence is swamped by inadequacies..when eyes fall upon us. I enjoyed the song..

I like this poem for portraying the fear of rejection that many people feel. The basic idea of being rejected is, in my opinion, a prerequisite to breaking the barriers of the first meeting, which in some cases becomes less daunting with enough rejections. =). The free form poem flows well. I wish you the best for the contest.

There are so many who feel this way in our world--they can't stand out from the crowd because they fear being seen and rejected for who they are.
I thought you told these people's stories very well with this free verse poem. Good luck in the contest.

Don't we all save a small piece of ourselves hidden deep within as we approach others, not knowing who or what they might expect. We want to reach out, yet we aren't ready to give our all. How frustrating a new love can be.

Even unto God that gaze is diverted. I know I'll never find the origin of this fear. I hope and pray that it somehow leaves me. Yours is always a good read.

Very thoughtfully written, and a good reminder to be aware of the needs and insecurities of other people, who sometimes act with bravado in an attempt to hide and mask their anxieties. Best wishes for your entry.

What a lovely poem, Jim. It speaks volumes about the type of person who is introverted, either temporarily or all the time. It made me think of autistic kids and how they are afraid to make other human connections. But, like I said, we can all be that from time to time or in certain situations.
Hugs,
Rhonda
