she thought she knew what she wanted.
oh foolish girl,
she just wanted the love,
the attention
that accompanied his words,
her own responses trickling down her chin
until she realized
this wasn’t her.
since when had she let
a boy’s disrespect get her down?
let his words bully her into becoming someone she’s not?
foolish girl, i don’t care
just how much you are in need of a partner.
he is not the one.
