girl like me

entry picture

a girl like me will meet a boy she loves and instead of loving them,

she will think only of the words she will use to describe them, 

when she writes a poem that night.

i am not ashamed of my soul that i bear whenever i open it.

a girl like me will write about every person she encounters,

and hope that for some reason they stumble upon it,

and spend the rest of their life wondering if it was about them.

i am not ashamed of my soul that i bear whenever i open it.

a girl like me will write only kind things about others,

but cruel things about herself.

this is because girls like me are lonely until theyre not,

and angry until they arent.

girls like me love to love the way they love,

and know everyone else is better off with them.

i am not ashamed of my soul that i bear whenever i open it.

I like the passion and the drive in your work and this is not exception . I love the way the phrase a girl like me drives it along.
A great piece
I look forward to more
