Why Do I Feel Dumb? Poem by Benjamin Feliciano

I know heartache comes from failed relationships and unrequitted love,
But I don't have anyone to be the object of my pining.
I want to be in love so bad it hurts.
I want there to be someone to want.
I miss having someone to entangle my thoughts late at night,
Trying to figure out what I should wear to impress them;
What jokes I should tell.
I could make someone smile and blush at my cheesy compliments.
I could be a hero.
I want a girl I can sweep off her feet
And name constellations with as we lay on our backs in dewy grass.
I want a girl who will make me hum Beatles songs to myself,
Smiling at the thought of her.
I'm ready for great things.
