Here I stand

meno1972

Here I stand in front of you, here
 on this empty stage
. Here I stand in front of you with my
 heart on my sleeve. I don’t want your sympathy. No
 tears needed please. I just want 
you to listen. To listen to my plea
. I stand on this stage. Underneath this 
virtual spotlight. I stand here hoping that you would give me a chance. 
Feeling like a moth attracted to the light on a moonless summer night. 
I just want your attention. 
I just want you to listen to my lonely 
lullaby. 
I stand here naked and scared. I stand here lonely and cold. 
I just want you to listen. To listen
 to my lonely lullaby

    Meno I love this poem, not only because it is well written, but because it describes so eloquently the feelings I and maybe other writers on this forum have when publishing a new poem. You probably wrote it with a completely different scenario in mind, but it just shows that a good poem can be interpreted in many different ways.

    Is a poem that just materialised in my mind. Is how i feel when I write a poem. I became vulnerable.
