Ode to Boys

    

To that Boy,

Wherever you are,

Whoever you are,

I hope you enjoy admiring the way she draws her eyeliner

I hope you enjoy the sight of her long hair

I hope you savor the taste of her red lipstick

I hope you enjoy her love for the cute

I hope you enjoy her youth

I hope you enjoy the light you receive from her cheerfulness

I hope you enjoy and praise her false modesty

The way she denies your compliments,

The way she refuses to accept praise

The way she is feminine and gentle in ways I will never be

The only instance of her accepting a compliment being when

She knows she has you

The way she was able to have you

Within moments….

A few

Conversations

Baseless

Plain

Lacking substance

With her visuals

Enjoy all that boy,

Because guess what?

I will enjoy myself

I will enjoy myself wholly

I will accept myself

Value myself

For who I am

The way I don't wear makeup

I will enjoy my plain and untouched eyes

I will enjoy my natural lips

I will enjoy my love for the cute,mysterious,alluring and beautiful

I will enjoy my own youth

I will enjoy my own beauty,as I am quite beautiful if I do say so myself

I will accept the praises given to me by family friends

And strangers alike    

Because I do not need to deny what is true in order to be liked

I will wear sneakers proudly

I will enjoy the rush of adrenaline exercise gives me

I will embrace my own brash,strong,independent,kind and

Weird personality

I’ll illuminate in the freedom my short hair gives me

I will remember who I am

Chase my ambitions

My dreams

Hold my values

Ideals

Identity

So boy,

You enjoy her

You keep complimenting her

In hopes she’ll accept

She needs you  anyway

But I don’t

Because

I'll enjoy me

Because I love me

Note: I wrote this a while back,I've been wanting to post it for a while now.For me,this poem applies to many situations in life.Please, girls remember,you are beautiful,amazing and remember how important it is to love yourself. Be yourself,love you for you. Please, always know you are beautiful and worth it. Smile,be happy .You are beautiful.You truly are.Doubt it anyone would care,but if I were to ever leave the site, I would want to leave on a good note,with a positive messge that could hopefully touch anyone. I came here to write after all.If it's goodbye,I part with these words! Adios,it's been fun!
