Afraid.

I titled the poem Afraid because my greatest fear, a fear we might all share..is to be alone..

I'm tired of being alone,
I know I'm young..
But what does age matter?
I may be young,
but years from now I might still be alone..
I don't know, you don't know.
No one knows.

I want to mean something to someone,
To be loved, and love back.
I know this may seem like much to ask for,
from a 14 year old girl..

But time flies,
love is different at this age vs.
when I'm 30.

I want to experience love while I'm young,
to know there may be someone like me..
That I'm not alone, or weird..
Do you understand, or am I once again Alone on this one?

I want to be told I love you,
and be able to say it back.
I'd like them to mean it for once,
because I know I'll mean it..
How do I know?
It's something you just know.
At this age everyone says love isn't real,
that you won't experience that until your older.

That's a lie.
We do experience love,
just a different way then you may explain it to us.
We experience young love,
yes it may not last...
It's not healthy to believe it will,
or to put to much emotion into young love..

Yet we all know we want to experience it,
young love is different.
It's something you can only experience for a short time..
And I feel my time is running out.

I'm only 14, yes.
But soon to be 15.
Time will pass me by,
before I know it I'll be old.

I don't ask for much,
just one good relationship..
With someone who's almost like me,
so then I can know..
I'm not as alone in this world as I feel..

Love is different I guess (from 14 to 30). Now, I'm only 18years old, but I can tell that. You penned your emotions in a beautiful write, one that hooks the reader up. I enjoyed it. There's only one thing I can say.. Let things fall into place. Don't look for love, cause you won't find it. Live life, have a good laugh with friends, hang out, do crazy s**t that you don't see yourself doing. Well now it's the time. When are you gonna do it? When you're thirty? ..And while doing all that stuff, you don't look for love. Then you can say, I wasn't looking when I stumbled onto you. It must have been faith.. and that's just the most beautiful thing we'll ever learn. Amazing write. =)

Wow nice poem :)
We all have felt this way, at least once...
Nice :)

I like that you addressed the topic of "young love". People seem to think everything you feel in your teenage years is angst and unreal.

You almost had me in tears in the first two stanzas. It's like you've taken words literally verbatim from my thoughts. Same age. Same story.

Absolutely fabulous poem.

Thank you so much for writing this.

i really liked this, gave me a slight comfort for some reason(?)
i get this loneliness, sometimes we want affection and a human relationship wiht someone whose not gonna be robotic or like a jerk. strangely, i ve been detached with people and i've been letting time fly by.
and this poem really helped, thanks.

[GrownUpTime]
