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
