Please be patient <br />My worries take over <br />And I get scared sometimes <br /> <br />Like being alone in the dark, isolated, and defenseless <br />Or, unlocked car doors that anyone can open at red lights <br />Of open grass fields with no one to hear me, see me, find me <br />Being tricked into something and taken advantage of <br />Not being strong enough, quick enough <br />Or being followed home one night in the dark <br />Of someone waiting for me around the corner of the house by the back door <br />Ground level windows that anyone can break <br />Or someone hiding in the trunk and then getting into the backseat <br />Of a hotel employee letting himself into my room <br />Being overpowered and having my gun taken away <br />Of being in your car with you, not really knowing you <br />Or being alone in a public bathroom that anyone can enter <br />The dark parking lots <br />Or the empty campus at night <br />Of someone’s deep lust searching eyes that I can’t get away from <br />Or the hand’s of men who get too close and fresh <br />No one believing me <br />Or no one understanding or caring <br />Of the… <br />Or the… <br /> <br />Please be patient with me <br />Don’t get frustrated, please.<br /><br />Jennifer Unknown<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/please-be-patient/
