Girl, You Disgust Me

You disgust me
You flaunt what you think is success
You flaunt what is ill-gotten
and untrue
You whore yourself to the camera
For some hopeful ounce of fame

What you have is self-confidence
forged in the heart of starvation,
Brazen arrogance
pulled from the lust of broken men,
Self-importance
declared in the name of Grand Self.

Do you not see
what what you take
to get where you are
will also be
taken from you?

Do you not comprehend
what you give to gain
the things you have
will be given
unto another?

Laptop Intimacy

My laptop and I just became much more intimate.
I stripped it down to its bare necessities,
fondled its parts,
and gave it a blow job on the kitchen table.

*From reddit: ...attractive when a girl has a good vocabulary*

*BillTheBastard comments on DAE find it instantly attractive when a girl has a good vocabulary*

"I like big words, and I can not lie
You other brothers can't deny
When a girl pipes up with an itty-bitty phrase
With a long noun as the case
You get sprung
Wanna say "good show"
'Cause you're mesmerized by words she knows
She's like a dictionary
So loquacious, man, it's scary
Oh, baby I wanna hear your prose
You're so verbose
My homeboys tried to warn me
But the way you speak
Make my knees so weak
Ooh, adjectives and clauses You say you know what a "promenade" is
Well tell me, tell me 'cause you ain't that average girly

I've heard them talkin' Just senseless squawkin' But she articulates, expatiates; that girl knows how to communicate
I'm tired of magazines Written by chimpanzees Take the average smart man and ask him that She must be eloquent
So Fellas (yeah) Fellas(yeah) Can your girlfriend talk like that? (hell yeah) Well say it, say it, say it, say it, say those lengthy words Baby: she knows"

Power

When its been denied you,
the right to say no,
the chance to hold back
is power held within

Hurting Everyone

how ya been

stressed.

why so

i think this bout is due to boys.

uh oh who has hurt your heart

just me.

i refuse to give it to little boys to break.

so i break theirs.

...and my own.

well you shouldn’t give it to little boys only men who will cherish it and nurture it

i have/had one of those.

but i decided that i might rather play with the little boys for a while.

so i'm just hurting everyone.....

Reactionary

I am a reactionary.
I do what gets a rise out of you.

I touch you not because
I like touch
I touch you
because it makes you

Makes you happy
Makes you do things
Makes you do stupid things =)

Not For Keeps

"Leggsy", "sexxy", turned on.
Back off.
I'm quite reserved.

Thanks for the ego boost
but I'm not yours
don't think I'm playing for keeps
even if I am playing games

To the Other Drivers

I like to play my chick rock louder than your music
I like to drive my car faster than yours
I like to ignore you and pretend that you care

You're So Cool

Mr. Badass in his broken-down black truck
hollers at me as he hauls on by.

I give him a glance to see if he is worth a look.
Respond to his wink with a crooked smile.

Distorts his face in concentration,
His eyes covering all my curves...

I laugh to myself as I turn away
and sway my hips just a little more.

Professor

She is a female
She is a homosexual
She is a professional
She is an amazing woman

To you is she just a stupid lesbian?

She was my professor
...twice
and was to be again
...multiple times

To you was she just a teacher?

We refuse to let her go
We will keep her here if we can
If not, we will,
at least in our reflections.

The Benefits of Womanhood

I may not be physically as strong as you,
but mentally, I am at least your equal
and my words cut deeper than your strength

I may not have a penis,
but I don't envy it,
and I can play sports without plastic between my legs.

I may not have a visible erection,
but I still get very aroused
and, by the way, I have more nerve endings than you.

Not A Man

I am not a man
I am not a “lesser version of a man”*
I am a different creature.
I am a woman.
We are made from different structures.
We are still human.

When will the men of the world,
the men of our lives,
the men who say they love us,
look [stop and really look]
at how they treat the
women they say they love.



* Byrne, J. O God of Players. New York: Columbia University Press, 2003.

Assumptions

You look at me and assume
you know
my life goals
my family values
my aspirations
my views

“You are female,
you are liberationist,
you don't like men
you do like women
you do like children”

How wrong you are.
How dare you judge
what you do not know.

What Happened?

What have I done?
Why am I so stupid?
Have I ruined another one?
My mind.
It can't take it.
No. Please don't touch me.
You mean so much to me.
You were (?) my best friend.
What happened to him?
I don't see him often these days.

This Guy

I found this guy who means the world to me.
He treats me amazing
and does it without putting me on a pedestal.
He cares for me like no other,
I want to make him the happiest that I can.

He seems so sad sometimes.
I do what I can.
There is so much, as of yet,
that I do not know.
He is like no other.

In a Guys Head

There is so much in a guys head
You've let me in
it terrifies me
I've heard
I haven't believed
now I know
It scares me
makes me trust you more
other guys less
there is so much you all don't show to the world

I am Capable

I am female
I am young
I am beautiful
therefore I know nothing (relevant)
especially not anything technical

I am angered when old men
know something only by their age
and gender

It irritates me
makes me want to strangle someone

It is just a pet peeve of mine
A pet peeve of a beautiful
young
woman

Extacy

You say estrogen is heroin.
I don't know about that,
but you're extacy to me.

Why'd It Take You A Week?

You made me feel so used.
You touched me like you cared.
You spoke soft things to me.
You said you might love me.

I didn't want to believe it
I didn't want to hurt you
I thought you cared
I ended it anyway

I didn't want to break your heart
I didn't want to hurt you
I actually even (almost) liked you
I ended it with the thought you'd be okay

You're great
You have her now

It's been so long
since we were together
It's been all of one week

Another One Gone

So many questions
So little understanding
I care for you
but I must be rid of you
This seems my life story
So much drama
So many guys
I can't seem to find one to care about
