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

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....

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

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
