Seems like my whole life I’ve been living a car crash Never knowing where I went wrong until the damage has been done I feel like there’s so much I haven’t been able to do, as I approach the end of childhood So much misunderstanding all these turbulent years Daddy says he’s proud of me, but does he really know about the stranger living in his daughter’s bedroom? Mom says that she’s disappointed That I don’t care about anything But she doesn’t know how heavy tears for needed approval are ‘cause I made sure that she never heard them Walked through so many phases Hoping to finally walk through a door with the answers on the other side But my mind only buzzes with more questions I always had to learn the hard way, Being the student and the teacher Looking back now, I recognize all the things my eyes have seen, My secrets are all my own And I harbor them deep in my skin Unaware of where I’m going from here, But for once – I feel like any other girl A sweet normalcy that before I never knew inside my isolated state of mind I’m not afraid of what I don’t know and sometimes you just learn better when you walk the road alone And maybe for the first time, I’m ready to do that 1.18.02 -- the calm before the storm -- jaimespoetry.blogspot.com [This message has been edited by Dark Enchantress (01-19-2002 08:04 PM).] |

Let me explain the title. When I was very young I hated my name because at that time where I lived my name was rare. I wanted to be named Kelly, Melanie, Tiffany, or something like that. Then when I got older, I always tried to get a different name because I felt it wasn't unique enough. Then after that... I was fine with my name, but it meant nothing to me. As far as I was concerned I was "that girl". Now... my name is Jaime. And even if only in my mind.. that means something. I think this poem expresses that (maybe not.. who knows) so I thought it was appropriate. Yeah, leave it to me to be so dramatic. -- the calm before the storm -- jaimespoetry.blogspot.com [This message has been edited by Dark Enchantress (01-19-2002 08:07 PM).] |

This is one kick-arse poem, Jaime... and one that's definitely hitting my library. The second stanza was, by far, my favorite. You put so much emotion into this, that the reader had no option but to feel it with you. What you have here is very impressive. I'm amazed at how I relate this. Especially the second stanza. Beautiful work. Impressive... I can't wait to see more... hopefully soon!  --Marie I wish your fingers could touch all I can't say... no one should ever feel this alone. |

jaime hey this was an awesome poem, i loved the part where you said: "and sometimes you just learn better when you walk the road alone" i could really identify with that, i am glad you shared this and keep writing. -bergundy- maybe i'll catch fire, something nice to warm me. something pure to burn away the darkness, that hides inside my mind. -alkaline trio- |
