I'm not the type of woman
That men write poetry to.
I don't inspire great works,
Or words of beauty and romance.
I'm not the type of woman
That men look at twice.
Too round in the hips
Too grey in the hair.
No.
I'm the type of woman
Who gets things done
Runs the show
Takes care of you (and you, and you).
I will LOL you until I'm crying
And even then will lie
No, really I'm fine
Must be a lash in my eye.
I'm the type of woman that men come to
With problems and questions
Of lovelife or health.
And they cluelessly miss the fact that
While I'm dispensing this advice they require,
I'm alone.
Who am I to talk?
I'm not the type of woman that cries in front of anyone.
The cracks in my façade are well-sealed until I am alone.
And I fear that I am not the type of woman
That will ever be loved in that
Sunsets and roses
Midnight moonlight
Devouring, encompassing, love and desire
Of which the great poets write.
No.
I'm afraid I won't ever be that woman either.
But I won't cry
I won't tell you even when my heart is crushed.
Because you see,
I'm not that type of woman.
More about the theme of beauty. Where is it, and who defines it?
