PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

Almost twenty-three years I have been on this earth

I still haven’t found my value and worth

I am still undecided on what I will be

I’m still trying to figure out just how to be me

Been through more shit than a woman twice my age

I have struggled and tried and only end up in pain

My heart has been broken and my money is spent

I still don’t know where my happiness went

I cry at mere thoughts

And I sob singing songs

Sometimes it feels like everything is wrong

I’m lonely and sad and I need a man in my life

I’m ready to be called upon as wife

I’m a mother, a sister, a daughter, a friend

But I feel so alone and I can’t see the end

I wait for that man to come in to my world

To hold me and love me and make me his girl

I watched my man leave and I begged him stay

But he found love elsewhere so he went anyway

And still I am here sleeping all alone

Wishing someone would just call on the phone

I can’t stand this feeling of being just one

Sometimes I think that my search should be done

Why can’t he just fall right from the sky?

With smooth chocolate skin

And sexy brown eyes

A personality so great and a body so strong

Humor for days and conversation as long

I just need the company of a man worth my love

So until that day I’ll pray to the above

Please show me the man who will love me for life

The one that will hold me and call me his wife

The one who respects me and knows of my worth

The one that will have me as his only on earth

I know he’ll be here one day but I can’t stand the wait

I just hope he doesn’t get here a little too late
