Boys

Spoiler Alert: This poem is not about boys

By APublished 5 years ago 1 min read

"Boys will hurt you"

"Boys aren't kind."

"They'll break your heart."

"They'll break your mind."

"Boys have cooties."

"They'll make you sick."

"Do not fall,

for a young boys tricks."

"Boys are evil."

"Boys bring pain."

"Corrupt your soul."

"Corrupt your brain."

But they didn't warn you,

they never do.

That loving girls,

is painful too.

Author's Note: I feel like my entire childhood was just a collection of adults warning me about boys so it was quite surprising to find out that liking girls is actually often a lot more challenges. Did anyone else go through a similar experience?
