"One should not pursue goals that are easily achieved.
One must develop an instinct
for what one can just barely achieve
through one’s greatest efforts."

-Albert Einstein

Jack and Jill went up a hill
to get better reception.
Jack gave up, Jill tried her luck
with no success to mention.

Upset they got, and slowly walked
Back their rented cabin
They cried to Mom, to Dad they sobbed
Without facebook
no location could they tag in.

I was taught to believe that your body meant nothing.
So I gave every part of it to people I never cared about.
I let their hands wander
I let them do whatever.

In a way I liked feeling wanted,
Even if it was only for 20 minutes in the back of a car
Or rushed before parents came home.

I was content with being used
I was content with being temporary

But deep down,
All I wanted was to be loved.

I wanted someone to want more for more than my body,
To tell me they loved me,
Rather than they lusted for me.

I gave up on being loved,
Accepting that I was just a toy
That I was only worth my body

Till someone came along
They told me they loved me
They told me they cared about me
They meant every word they said

They kissed me softly
And touched me with the lights on
We held hands
And we fell in love
