Bitter pill
outwardly awkward
perpetually alone
you stalk the night
by moonlights cold glow
stay in the shadows
glare at the flow
bitter young man
witnesses the blow
the sirens they wail
cut through the night
race without winners
fearing the light
for light brings the change
that none will abide
unwilling to take
chance for a bride
surely you'll suffer
for all that you know
the price of permisson
bitter pill taken once more

that none will abide
unwilling to take

surely you'll suffer

I take this to be about shyness, which can be crippling. I used to be painfully reserved, lurking in shadows and not saying a damn thing, just hanging out. Even in a crowded room I was "perpetually alone." I've learned to open up a bit, which took too long. Now I've got some catching up to do. I wish I'd read your poem years ago.
