I want to...
But I can't,
Though I will whine
And I will rant,
I'm not ready to put myself out there.
Yes, I say I really should
But I'm not sure if I could.
I think it would be just too much to bear.
The misunderstanding glances
The awkward romances
I'm no good at taking chances,
At least not like this.
The silent snickering
The constant bickering
My self confidence is flickering
I guess this one's a miss.
And don't want to keep down low
This I really want to show
This I want the
World
To know....
But I guess I'll take it slow.

Can totally relate to this bit Jasper and I like the rhyme scheme in the poem, very nice.

Thought I will whine... did
Thought I will whine... did you mean thought here or did you mean though?
Yes, I say I really should... I would put a comma after say.
And don't want to keep down low... This is fine as it is, but I think stay down low maybe reads better.
And don't want to keep down low
This I really want to show
This I want the
World
To know....
But I guess I'll take it slow.... I think the final stanza is stronger if you lose both of the uses of the word this
Hi Jasper. On ABCTales we don't discriminate for or against people because of their age. The way I see it, you're kickin` it with the big boys, you can be judged by the standard of you work along with everybody else .... But, I am going to single this one out because of your age. It's raw, it's out there, it's real heart on your sleeve stuff, and if you can produce this at fourteen, you are going to be amazing later in life. This touched me and I think it's lovely.
