This is the first poem I've ever written on my own free will (others I've made were school assignments). This poem came to me after an emotional blow was dealt to me (kudos to you if you can figure out the exact situation a clue is hidden in my signature). Anyway, here goes
I Held Back
There you were, the thing I wished not to lack
But wallowing in my insecurity, I held back
I became your friend, a plan came on track
Stability was building, but still I held back
I called up my courage, I'd give you the facts
Yes, this time I wouldn't hold back
I was too late, it hit me like a yak
Now I wish I hadn't held back
Now your out of reach, my heart has a crack
All my pain, becuase I held back
Will I wait for it to end, my brain is wracked
You slipped away, because I held back
I've learned not to wait, I won't be a hack
If the time comes, I won't hold back
I Held Back

Yes, this time I wouldn't hold back
I was too late, it hit me like a yak

Now your out of reach, my heart has a crack
All my pain, becuase I held back
Will I wait for it to end, my brain is wracked
You slipped away, because I held back
I've learned not to wait, I won't be a hack
If the time comes, I won't hold back
