Men

I'm getting tired of men 
and their childish ways
if it doesn't shine they
don't want to play
I haven't found a guy yet
to be heavily interested in
my brain. I have to keep 
appearances up or they won't 
notice me. I feel a little melancholy 
because boys will be boys and if I were
to play coy they'd date the flamboyant
girl with the silver pearls. I can't seem
to unearth a real man 
there is simply too much sand 
and I don't have the patience 
to suddenly stumble on something great
why all the illusion? I never seem to reach the
the right conclusion. Men keep sticking
me into little delusions. I'm so sick of 
doing all this self soothing.

Stay strong Shahana. Your soulmate is out there. Sometimes when we aren't looking for someone, the right someone finds us. Don't lose faith in men. Very emotional write. ~Des Juan
