An Ode To Myself

Once upon a time,
In a suburb near the city,
There lived a little girl,
Who was smart but not so pretty.

When she got high school,
She turned blond and lost some weight.
The football players noticed,
And she finally got a date.

She “hooked up” quite a bit back then,
And dated lots of guys.
It helped her social standing,
(But that comes as no surprise.)

She started to get popular,
Though not for the right reasons.
She even was a cheerleader,
Basketball and football seasons.

It was like a John Hughes movie,
How these high school years played out.
But when she got to college,
That script took a different route.

The themes became adult there,
Sex took on a bigger role.
She thought she could divide her
Mind from body, heart from soul.

She knows now that can’t happen,
But does not regret her past.
It’s just she’s finally realized,
She needs sex and love that lasts.

So now she’s on a mission,
To find something much more real.
A guy who fucks her brains out,
But with witty, smart appeal.

This time she will not settle,
For just flings or backseat bj’s.
She wants a guy who loves her,
All dressed up, or in her pj’s.

So when she’s not “on ice,”
Now not just any guy will do.
She’s gotta think he’s perfect,
And he’ll see her that way, too.

Her heart and eyes are open,
As she starts a brand new chapter.
She’s kissed a lot of frogs,
Now she deserves her ever after.
