once again, not pretty enough

"Don't take this wrong, you're just not pretty enough to date".

I sat there thinking to myself, wow I guess he's right,
so I just put my head down and didn't bother to fight.
My heart was crushed, my pride was killed,
all from a guy, with very few skills.
His hands on my body, giving in once again,
he smiles and finishes with a kiss, says "I'm glad we're friends".
Friends with benefits, another name for a whore,
he says he doesn't want me, but always comes back for more.
Why do I let him use me? it only makes me cry,
I know he'll end up leaving, just like every other guy.
Maybe one day I'll be good enough, pretty enough, to date,
or maybe I'll end up alone, maybe that's just my fate.

Author notes

**IMPORTANT NOTE**

yes i realize knowly letting a guy use me is my own fault. i know this. im working on not letting it happen. i only write the poem to get the feeling out so please dont be cruel.

    I plan to revise this poem: please leave constructive criticism!

    This will sound harsh. This sounds like date rape without the date.

    An intense poem which stirs intense feelings in me, as a Mom.

    I really wish I could match you up with my son, who's intensely shy, at 18 he has had only 1 GF, and she dumped him. He's cute, too. He would be thrilled to date you.

    Wow. This is pretty sad but it also shows the perfect reason for why most women think guys are players (or whatever the word is for it). What's even worse is there are too many guys that are like this. Personally I wish you wouldn't have to go through something like this, because no one should ever be told those words in the quotation you posted, it's rediculous. But a very good poem none-the-less.

    I am all for you, dear...Those kind come a dime a dozen...Don't believe their lies....You are a prize that goes to the one most deserving of you that shows you respect.
    A rhyming poem that is for every girl that thinks she is not worthy of the right kind of treatment and love...Because I know!

  • a guy who says you aren't pretty enough

    for him is a superficial asshole who is unworthy of all the incredible gifts you have to offer. Obviously, you are pretty enough to arouse him...so its his problem, could it be he wants a trophy on his arm who is bubbled-headed and too dumb to challenge him, and simply to impress others because of some defect in him, not man enough, so he worries what other people think more than how he might feel? Sensitive and sad and beautiful write poet.

      the first line is more of a quote since its what he said to me after the first time we hooked up...
      thank you so much for your encouraging comment. it really means a lot to me.

    People let others use them when they want to feel needed or loved. When really it does the opposite. It isn't totally your fault, it's his too. It is never right for a guy to use a girl like that, or vice versa. But you DO have the power to say NO. That's all it takes. I know it may be hard, but he doesn't want you for you. When he askes you again just look him in the face and say, "Fuck you." and walk away.
