Just a Girl

I’ve got endless poems

As ways of writing down

Just how I feel

In them I can say “I love you”

And I talk about the simple pleasures

Things that no one knows about me

The thing is though

That they don’t matter

Sure I get it all out

I’m not bottling it up anymore

But it’s still inside me

And not out there

All those feelings

That I write down

Should be out there

I should say them

And say them again

Just so someone gets the point

What really matters is

Having someone know

Just how I feel

Because in the end

I want it…

What every girl wants

I want the romance

I want the guy

That’s my best friend

And I don’t get him

Because I don’t say

What’s on my mind

Its part fear

Its part youth

Its part girl

I’m not talking about the dress

I’m not talking about moving in

I’m not talking about kids

I’m just saying that I did

If you didn’t know it

I did want you

I guess I still do

Because in the end

I’m just a girl

And I don’t want

The rejection

Anymore than you do
