Hello, My Name Is

Before I start this is a very personal poem to me. So please be nice in the comments. Also if you have a question about it Soupmail me about it. Well here it goes.

Hello my name is...
Isn't this party great
Hello my name is...
Let's get to know each other
Hello my name is...
Can I but you a drink
Hello my name is...
I think I like you
Hello my name is...
Let's go somewhere we can be alone
Hello my name is...
That girl you won't remember in the morning
Hello my name is...
I can show you a good time
Hello my name is...
I can show you a good time
Hello my name is...
At least until you get tired of me
Hello my name is...
Just keep you voice down
Hello my name is...
No one will ever know
Hello my name is...
I promise, they always promise.
Hello my name is...
I can never recover
Hello my name is...
You stole that chance away 
Hello my name is...
Low self esteem
I feel like I have nothing else to take
So instead I just give
I've struggled for years
But I got tired of saying no
In a voice you never heard
Like I could be happy
Like I could forget the life stolen from me
Like I could pick up the pieces of my porcelain heart
And put it back together
Make it whole somehow
Like I could just forget what happened
Like I wouldn't remember that night
It just doesn't work that way
Now all my encounters start out as
Hello my name is...
I can't even remember anymore
Hello my name is...
Whatever you want to call me Sir
Hello my name is...
No longer a way I can identify myself
Hello my name is Brittany Larson
Why don't you tell me your name
Why don't we get to know each other
Just remember my story is a long one
It all started with
Hello my name is...
And he never let me finish

Funom Makama April 14, 2015 at 11:26 AM More than just words and greatly significant lines for a wonderful day as this. I am happy to stop by. Great write and keep it up because I will still come knocking at the door of your wonderful pages.

James Ranahan February 10, 2015 at 9:43 PM I really enjoyed reading this poem tonight. It tells a story. It connects me to an inner life of heartbreak. It is a different shade of darkness. I've read most of your other poems but this one sends words in a different directions. Please do finish....

Jan Allison February 10, 2015 at 6:17 PM Hello Brittany:-) Such a deep sad write - we have all met this type of character - not interested in you more of what they can get from you, use you and then discard you. Brittany this is a fabulous write that shows you to be an incredibly strong person - you may consider you have low self esteem - i know i did about myself but writing has helped me oh so much. This is so powerful you will move on and blossom:-) ! Hugs jan xx

Paul Callus February 10, 2015 at 5:46 PM Hi Brittany! I think this is the first poem of yours that I have read. It leaves me with mixed feelings; life should not be like this; I hope you don't blame yourself for what happened...it is so easy for young people to be taken in by sweet words. But you must not live in shame or low esteem. We learn through experience; look ahead with trust. Take care and all the best. // paul Paul Callus February 11, 2015 at 3:24 PM And it's good that you write...putting down your thoughts in writing frees your emotions. All the best. // paul Brittany Larson February 10, 2015 at 6:06 PM Thank you. I mean I am okay now but this is a poem I have wanted to write for a while Njeri Hunjeri February 10, 2015 at 5:51 PM I agree with Paul! All the best
