I wish I could dance or sing <br />But those talents were never given to me <br />To express myself in a song <br />Is something I will never know <br />As well it is with rhythm and coordination <br />Those things I’ve also never had <br />Confidence, so far from my reach <br />Holds me down <br />Determined to keep me from reaching greatness <br />I lack charisma, and charm <br />I am forgettable in all ways <br />But in these words <br />No one can see my face <br />Ink and paper have not yet captured the sound of my voice <br />In those things I may continue to live <br />My face lost to endless time <br />My voice failing on deaf ears <br />But my soul will remain <br />My mind forever sealed in the pages of a book<br /><br />Jim Farr<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/and-here-i-remain/
