Always the girl
that everyone is in love with
but no one can keep.
If my mind is so intriguing
then why is my body so easy to use?
No person can stimulate my brain
as well as they can pick away at my flaws.
So drawn to these people; I become.
Feeding into their words.
If I’m mentally aware of the ignorance,
then it’s more justifiable
when I reject the next person
who loves my intellect.
How could you love a woman
So, so stupid.

a bottom feeder for their words.
If I’m mentally aware of self-demeaning, ignorance
then it’s more justifiable, when I reject
the next person loving-on, my intellect.'
(loved this distillation of a specifically, modern struggle
we're all fighting with, at some level
as-in
that aspect of our awareness and introspection
which, taints our perception
of people's motivation
for what kindness they show us.
we're so used to battling, through and for: everything
that when people throw a few petal words
our way, we find it easier
to view them subtle attacks..
and especially that section about
how (your) female body's are treated like
worthless, use and bin
sexualised objects
while simultaneously strangers speak of your mind's
invaluable worth..
this constantly opposing
duality's
tend to grind us down
over time...')
a great write! please
forgive me, for rudely messing
with your poetry's wording
I sincerely meant no disrespect
it was just
my overzealous nature wanting to share
how your poetry expressed itself, to me
I absolutely love that you completely understand the concept of hypocrisy in this piece. I constantly look forward to your comments, thank you for reading!!
Some just want to be loved, and if love is a bit of attention, then that's all it takes. Sadly, we know it as getting used time and time again. Some learn in the end, some don't.
