DON'T BE SHY
Happy Valentine to ya'll... Its another day for me (like every other day) to express my love to the people around me.
This is for all you's out there that find it hard to express yourself..... It may not be because you are shy, it could just be a case of mixed feeling.... or the message from him/her is not clear enough for you to step forward and break the silence.
I've been in that positon before..... I wasn't sure of the message but I was sure of the beauty... so what do I do?....well, what I did was simple... I wrote it out in this well put together piece that expresses my confusion but affirms my observation......
I see something
As brave as I am,
a girl’s eyes can be difficult to look at
But yours is an anomaly,
Cos every time I look, I want to look again
I know that I know there’s something in those eyes
Is it hatred, dirt, trouble, fear or is it peace, joy, hope, care and love?
What it is, is a mystery waiting to be unravelled
But these I physically see, a set of hypnotising eyes
fenced with a fine coat of mascara,
carefully streamlined along its perfectly curved edges
giving the eye lashes an independent stand-a-lone beauty
each pointing towards heaven
Every time I look at them, I look up
expecting to see something
but what, I don’t know.
I think credence should be given to me for seeing something.... albeit I don't understand it....
If you are like me, seeing is the first step.... though you may not understand it, describe what you see (not what you feel)... the answer might just lie in your description....
guess what, when I gave this piece to the person in concern... the reaction I got gave me the answer to my confusion .... (It works)
Happy Valentine.

awesome, so much expressed in so few words, jus to draw ur attention to what captured me, "describe what you see (not what you feel)..." don’t u think what u feel can actually determine what u see, and are u saying your feeling should be ignored till a later stage?
I wish we can ignore our feelings.. but it is a hard thing to do unless you are exceptionally strong. From the second paragraph of the article, I tried to explain that the individuals involved do not know what to feel.... they are not sure of the reception that will mee their feeling if they express it. That is not a nice situation to be in and I'm saying to them.... don't be put down by the uncertainty... tell the story about what is true and real.... and hopefully where you stand will be revealed.... Am I asking them to buy some time?... I'm definitely not saying ingnore your feelings....what I'm saying is "appreciate the reasons responsible for the good way you feel, you may never get what you want... but no one can take away the sensitivity of your observation"... Its yours to keep.
