Have you ever felt raindrop race tears down your face
Got thrown out of a heart without leaving a trace
Been convinced all you are's a complete waste of space
Found yourself in a world of fright
Have you ever been so low above lies the floor
Self imploded from trying to stifle your roar
Suffered all you could take then return for some more
Booked the flight when you knew you should fight
Have you ever been willing unable to dare
Suffocated by breathing in putrified air
Bought the cushion to match your electrified chair
Plugged it in settling down for the night
Have you ever been in the wrong place the wrong time
When all reason is lost all that's left is the rhyme
Dig yourself from the basement there's mountains to climb
Shake of feelings still tourniquet tight
Would you ever allow me to take your sweet hand
To a place where the sun kisses toes in the sand
Instantly you'd receive the respect you command
On our first fated magical night

A deep writing with a lot of questions yet well expressed )
Yes I’ve felt low in self esteem before , and in a place of fear . And it’s never nice , is it
A good poem especially like the last few lines
Truly appreciate such support and kind words
thank you Violet
Mmmm so much, but to answer your questions, yes, to all of the above! However,
I'll focus on the ending. "Would you ever allow me to take your sweet hand, to a place where the sun kisses toes in the sand, instantly you'd receive the respect you command, On our first fated magical night" -YES sir! Thank you!
