Letter From A Not So Secret Admirer

You're as tall as mount Kilimanjaro, at least 6'2

and you play my favorite sport and you're not a rookie, Boo

I act nonchalant but on the inside i got butterflies

that flutter when i look into your cocoa colored eyes. 

They flap against my chest,

Like an insect, you're a pest.

Confusion, Heartache, and heartbreak

Were the reasons why i was afraid,

To like you, To want you, you were why i was always worried about keeping my edges laid.

Why was i trying to let you pass the toll even though you hadn't paid?

What role do i play?

Is there anything you have to say?

No, there isn't because you don't care.

I didn't realize you were playing me.

Bu now my mind is clean from your words and i can see.

You didn't want me, specifically.

You treat me like every other girl:

And i won't stand for it anymore.

 

Sincerely, Anyah Goins- your friend, classmate, and Cheerleader
