What He Gave Up

by Heather Williams - Libra

I thought she was a boy as I walked in
With my freshly peirced navel
My blond curly hair and my yellow sweater
She was wearing faded jeans
A sweatshirt and an old baseball cap 
To cover her greasy hair
When I realzied what she was I laughed
Not so much at her but at him
I look in the mirror and look at myself
Not only did he give up on something great physiclly
But he gave up on a good heart
A good soul and an intelligent mind
With much to offer
Maybe she does too but he didn't give me a chance
To prove much more than my body

Reason for writing:

    Oh when will the boys learn there is more to a girl than her body?
