Let Me Stand

Flashes of her keep running through my head.
Come out of your shell
Make her comprehend
So I said to myself.

Hold her hands,
Make her understand,
Intermingle her sense
And make her blend.

Let me stand,
Tired of sitting on the fence,
Commence what you intend
And stop all these pretence.

I've been all by myself
In this monologue defense
Tell her how you feel
So I loudly said.

My hands and feet go wet,
Beating on my chest
Saying to myself
That all will be well.

Hence, she firmly said
"I understand your plights
but my hands are tied
Sorry! This is my stand".
