Poems

ever since i was little 

i dreampt of a boy 

a boy who was tall and wise 

a boy who was cute in disguise 

a boy with good hair, and popular too 

a boy who i thought could never be true 

and now that im older i came to realize 

the outside is good, but the inside is key 

i dream of a boy who is kind and gentle 

charismatic and sweet 

to knock me off my feet 

a boy who can love as much as he can 

a boy who isnt a boy, but mature as a man 

a boy who will make me laugh 

and let me be me 

a boy who will make me see the unseen 

a boy who is incredible, and loves me too 

a boy who i have learned 

is too good to be true

ever since i was little 

i dreampt of a boy 

a boy who was tall and wise 

a boy who was cute in disguise 

a boy with good hair, and popular too 

a boy who i thought could never be true 

and now that im older i came to realize 

the outside is good, but the inside is key 

i dream of a boy who is kind and gentle 

charismatic and sweet 

to knock me off my feet 

a boy who can love as much as he can 

a boy who isnt a boy, but mature as a man 

a boy who will make me laugh 

and let me be me 

a boy who will make me see the unseen 

a boy who is incredible, and loves me too 

a boy who i have learned 

is too good to be true

Can you hear me?

Is my message loud and clear?

Am I the one who is pushing her luck?

Am I the unreasonable one my dear?

Just tell me what it is that I did

Or what wasn’t done

Because in this epic battle

Where lives are taken so freely

There is nothing helped, nothing said, nothing won.

I almost want to quit, and give up my place

Because you keep pushing for your one space

The space between what’s just and right

The place that I cradle my heart at night

Open the portal between just and true

And I will pass through only for you

You need your place, that one tiny space

The space where I stand between

Your life and your friends

Your family and your fun

So please

Your battle is won.

So put down your verbal sword,

and i will put down my piercing gun.
