Outta' My League (A Poem)

This is a story of a man who meets a girl that tends to believe she is not good enough for him. Although he see's her as a perfect women, she doesn't see it in herself and runs from him. Instead of giving up, he goes after her. Sadly it may be late.

Outta' My League (A Poem)
Thomas McRae, Jr (A bumpy Flight to Chicago)

She told me to touch her in all the right parts

But her heart...

That wasn't a place to start

Pieces of glass that's still sharp

The melody that played with a beautiful harp

Wasn't to come out of that chest as I would expect.

Who'd guess

That something so ugly could be so good for me?

"How could a boy like you, ever want a girl like me?

You're way outta my league."

Words she sung to me...

So clear like I should fear getting too close or near...

I mean, flowers that's missing a few petals are still beautiful.

And just because it rains and the sun goes into hiding

Doesn't mean the clouds stop being attractive.

She feared making a mistake.

The easiest way her heart would break

She think we seek perfection

I'm just a man that needs direction

I wanna love only if she lets it.

She makes love seem so unattainable

What's there to get confused or tangled?

You're worth the danger

I was told to never talk to a stranger

But there was no rule permitting me from falling In love with one.

Often asked if I believed in love at first sight

I would answer no.

She'd have to be a goddess

Just a mere mortal

I figured your presence would destroy us

An Athena like creation

How could she think she's not worthy of love?

I know relationships are like walking in the park..

Jurassic park that is

But the challenges would be worth it

If you'd allow love to be our surface

The root,

Our foundation

We'd gain some sort of elevation if you trust me.

"Boys like you, don't go for girls like me

You're way outta my league."

Her insecurities rang like doorbells

No one answered like a game of knock knock

So there I stood waiting.

She always mention how invisible she felt.

I just wanted to help fill those voids

I love her and I'm not sure if you could relate.

The effects of dealing with a heart you didn't break

They always told me not to go searching for fools gold.

But she had me sold the first time we were able to hold.

If love is under your nose don't be the one to let it go.

Good girls shouldn't cry

like real love shouldn't die

don't question why my heart is after you.

My brain is in communication with my heart

you always cross my mind

When you're building a temple you're never wasting your time

So is it wrong I so badly want you as mine?

I'm not out of your league.

I believe you're exactly what I need.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
