Description:
What I'm trying to express with this poem is, that I used to be scared of who I was, because I didn't know me. But now I know me, and even if I don't know what to do, I'm not scared of myself anymore.

Baby Girl, Let's Fall Asleep Forever dots

-------------------------------------------

Baby girl, I remember when you were a stranger,
And your pain and scars seemed far away from me.
I couldn't understand why your eyes yelled danger,
Didn't even know how broken you could be.

I knew I was missing something about you,
You were hiding shame reasons behind your eyes.
I was scared of what you would possibly do,
Of the desperate feelings twisting your mind.

I wanted to help you, but I had no words,
To show you how everything would be fine.
I wanted to hold you and never let go,
To have your torn heart close to mine.

Today I have changed, now I'm your closest friend,
Being your friend hurts since I live your pain.
I kiss your scars and your mistakes try to mend,
Being in your mind makes my life insane.

I see you everyday, you live in my reflection,
I taste your tears and touch your fake smile.
I know we're lost, and tired of rejections,
There's no place to go to save what's inside.

It's just the two of us, so take my hand,
Let's fall asleep forever and live in dreams.
Forget about how things used to be and dance,
I don't know how to fix us, so let's just breathe.

  Thanks for writing this excellent psychological poem! I have to call it that because I'm an old man, which is about as ignorant as one can get about a young woman! It told me about you, better than trying to figure people out by reading studies of human nature! Also it took me back to many times when my two daughters were young, and made me cry with many mixed feelings.

  Wow, such a great piece. I'm glad and happy for you that you have found that you can be happy with how you are.
The title is great, it drew me in and captured my attention. It's a very powerful and emotional piece, but I feel you have written it very well.
I think everyone as some stage in their lives feels the way you did, and in a constantly changing society everyone is trying to live up to unachievable expectations, when really all we need to be is ourself. We needn't be afraid of being that way, it's how we were born, and how we're supposed to be.
My favourite part is:
Forget about how things used to be and dance,
I don't know how to fix us, so let's just breathe.
That's how we should all be, thank you for being so honest.

  I loved this!!! I don't want you to think that I am adding this to my fav's because you added me but I really really loved this. Each line holds such strength, it has been so carefully written, the progression it goes through makes me feel like I slowly went through the journey with you. My favourite line is the first, and I love the title it screams 'read me'. Awesome, I loved it. ~Sunset

  BREATHTAKING.....Wonderful...I felt every line every word. I do know about the fake smile. the pain behind.....
This makes me feel like I want to save you..Shiled you from futher harm and danger as a mother and child.
my goodness you are so very young to know such sorrow....
I feel tears stininging.....
Keep writing baby, you are bound to make something of yourself with this gift even if you don't want to. Your light is going to touch the world....
I am happy I came by....
Keep lovin and livin life...

  the emotion and feeling you expressed here was conveyed brilliantly.
the poem itself is powerful but i think this part stood out the most after reading it a few times.

Today I have changed, now I'm your closest friend,
Being your friend hurts since I live your pain.
I kiss your scars and your mistakes try to mend,
Being in your mind makes my life insane.

i wish i could express myself the way you did in this poem.

  This is a real honest writing. my fav line in this would have to be :

Forget about how things used to be and dance,
I don't know how to fix us, so let's just breathe.

you can truly see you becoming more comfortable with yourself. You had stopped trying to figure it out and fix whatever you thought was wrong and just "was". Brilliant use words here i thought.

smalltown who also commented stated they wished to shield you and keep you safe, but me personally after reading this, think you are just fine. If you can figure this out as young as you are, then you will make it through the wilderness of youth, and come out shining.

good job and keep writing.
