I would like to meet you <br />Desperately need to learn your name <br />One of these days, <br />One of the days when i need you, <br />I'd like you to be there, <br />Please don't fail me the way others do. <br /> <br />Like a lover would <br />Save me, from everything i know <br />And everything I don't wish to know <br />I'm weary and jaded <br />My young heart doesn't grow gracefully <br />Do I have to wear a tag for you to finally see? <br /> <br />I'm so alone <br />I think God knows <br />I run, I crash, I burn <br />If I speed and never look back <br />Maybe He won't notice me? <br />I cry behind my sunglasses <br />I shiver in my car <br />No they cannot see me break, <br />Big girls don't cry. <br /> <br />I sleep like a little child, <br />Beneath the blanket I would hide <br />And like a scared, lost child <br />I only want to hear good things <br />So don't terrify me with any of your war stories, <br />Or teach me about the poor, homeless man. <br /> <br />Must remind myself to breathe, <br />To walk ahead, and not fall off <br />I check my reflection in the mirror, <br />To ascertain my visibility <br />Cause I feel so plastic <br />A cheap, cracked polysterine, <br />Waiting in line to die. <br /> <br />And like a broken child, <br />Like a curious innocent, <br />Who feels deeper than any other souls, <br />I wander like an orphan <br />Seeking for a house that feels like home <br />Only in my dreams, <br />You're always there to save the day...<br /><br />Lara W.A<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/big-girls-don-t-cry/
