That Girl

Published on 9 July 2024 at 19:57

Yeah I'm that girl

You know the one

The one whose always there

Who give you her everything

 

The one who lights the room with her smile

With the big, beautiful brown eyes

Tough on the outside

But feels so much within

 

The one who will keep your secrets

Laugh with you til your sides ache

Try anything once if you ask

Like I'm one of the guys

 

The one who makes life fun

Holds great conversations

Lets you be you with no judgement

East breezy, that's me

 

But I'm just a filler

The one who's there to pass the time with 

Good to keep in the back pocket

To pull out on a rainy day

 

I'm the one that's too good

But never good enough

Not for you, not for them

Tossed to the side and easily forgotten

 

All until you're bored again

Melissa, this is exceptional. And a feeling I am familiar with. Your poem touched me

You girl are all that and so much MORE!!! I love that you’re writing poems and sharing them. I love poems and used to write them often and now mostly when I’m feeling overwhelmed. Anyway, I love it and I love you💖 You are more of everything than you know!

This is the first time I've read your poetry, Melissa. I find it profound, honest, and raw. You have a real talent. Thank you for sharing your voice. I hope that you have found some catharsis. ❤️
