   FIRSSSSSSSSSST. Great poem. Simple words, strong effect. . . Some people feel overrated and they really are not. It's best to put them right where they belong. They feel their actions have a notable effect but in reality, they hardly cause a stir. We determine what affects us and who does.

   "you do not make me nervous". (sighs) if only they would understand that. really good one

3. Bibi, on March 22nd, 2009 at 2:59 pm Said:

   and i agree with geebee. some pple just feel so overrated.

   Nice one

   Few lines but very profound.

   Communicating feelings are always complex.

   ……deep sigh'

   GNG the poet!………

   great one! its so true..im so annoyed with guys who think they make me nervous lol. I think we only truly get nervous with people we really like.

8. kmplx, on March 23rd, 2009 at 4:36 am Said:

   nice, i like! simplicity is dope also.

9. JustDB, on March 23rd, 2009 at 5:23 am Said:

   Guess the idea that we have such an impact on people that they are nervous feeds our sense of importance.. Nothing like a candid talk to bring the ego down a few notches! Nice one…

    this is a very nice poem.. good one

11. bumight, on March 23rd, 2009 at 7:54 am Said:

    so if he doesnt make u nervous, is that a good thing or bad thing?

12. NoLimit, on March 23rd, 2009 at 8:38 am Said:

    Hmmmn why do I feel there's a deeper gist behind this???

    So did he/she finally tell you how he/she feels?

    P.S

    notice the way I didn't jump into conclusion about the gender?~wink~wink…but erm I'm prone to think this a HE!

13. BSCN, on March 23rd, 2009 at 8:55 am Said:

    nice poem. well laid out… lol a bumight's question

14. jabez, on March 23rd, 2009 at 6:15 pm Said:

15. Enkay, on March 23rd, 2009 at 10:35 pm Said:

    And he thought he made your heart run a mile per second…more like "you wish"!

    Nice poem!

    ►Geebee

    Congrats on your first status jare…you got here first by a longshot!

    Thanks…you said it right with "some people feel overrated". It's not that I'm trying to put them in their place precisely, I just want them to give me credit for knowing that which I speak of, especially when I'm talking about ME.

    ►Bibi

    You got it! Thanks.

    ►funms-the rebirth

    hehehe I mean sometimes they do have a huge effect but yeah, some humility would be great!

    ►Buttercup

    Oh gosh, I don't know if what I write is poetry jare: I was on this Naija forum and would post my writings in the poetry section and the commenters would be along the lines of my work not being poetry because it didn't rhyme or other nonsense like that. What do they know, right? :)

    ►olufunke

    You're too kind my dear…thank you!

    ►Adaeze

    lol it annoys you too eh? I mean gosh if you make me nervous you'll be able to tell! Don't imagine I'm nervous when I'm not…especially when I'm telling you I'm not. Maybe they're used to girls who front sha…I don't know!

    You know, you bring up a good point about getting nervous or not: some would say they were instantly comfortable with "the one" so you never can tell how you will react (though I personally get nervous IN PERSON with the ones I really like…online or on the phone I'm cool as a cucumber).

    ►kmplx

    hehe your "simplicity is dope" comment made me laugh. I don't think anything I've done has been associated with being dope before! I feel pretty cool..thanks!

    ►Just DB

    You're so right, because we do like to feel like we're important or we matter. However, that being said, I'd tend to err on the side of caution and not assume that I impact people, anyone, that much…but that might be me exhibiting low self confidence. We must find that happy medium I guess!

19. goodnaijagirl, on March 24th, 2009 at 5:13 am Said:

    ►bumight

    If he doesn't make me nervous, I'd say that's a bad thing. But it's more the fact that he presumes to know how I feel, and he thinks it's the opposite of what I'm telling him is what's irksome.

    ►NoLimit

    Yes o, I'll give you points for diplomacy and tact! And you're right in the end, it's a he, but it's not even at that level of saying how one feels…I'm tempted to write about this but really, it's one of those non-stories in my view.

    ►BSCN

    Thanks lady! I enjoyed your last entry.

    ►jabez

    I knew you would. Your writings of late have me so curious.

    ►Enkay

    lol at "you wish!". You feel me though, I can tell.

    ►1 + The One

    I like your blog name! And thanks for the congrats :)

    ►aloted

    lol you always make me laugh.

    This is a nice piece. I like it cos it denotes something direct from the mind. You didnt have to go around looking for rhymes, you just poured it out as it was dropped in your mind.

    Really nice write up.

    What made him think he "had" it like that?

    I'm glad Bumight asked because for me not being nervous would have been a great thing.

    Interesting as always.
