You are, I am.

You are, I am.

A Poem by Cœur

I am female.

My hair is short and straight,

Not long and wavy.

I drive a motorcycle,

Not a convertible.

I say the things I feel,

Not hide them for the sake of being polite.


You are female.

Your skirt,

Barely covering your a*s,

Is bright and loose.

Your makeup,

Always perfect.

You’re a flirt

With everything that breathes.


We are female.

We are the same,

But we are different.

Your view of love

Differs from mine.

You don’t care

What kind of attention you get,

As long as you get it.

I do.


Your lover grabs you,

Claiming you as his property.

Mine caresses my cheek

And asks about my day.

Yours forces you into the back,

Mine offers to drive me home.

Yours does not love you,

Mine does.


We are female.

But we are not the same.

I only take what I deserve,

You take everything you can grasp onto.

Thank you for reading
That's quite philosophical but so commonsensical. It's seemed more like a talk or some exchanging words of one woman to another... who wants her to watch the world throu' her eyes, and understand what exactly the love is and what it can bring or what it can ev'n damage to soul. A very honest piece of writing you've come up with.

I guess, i'm gonna spend some time with some of your poetry by now.

I'm glad you found it interesting, thank you for your review.
Our future perception of love is deeply engrained into us as a child I think. How father's treat their wives and daughters has a tremendous impact on how his daughter will later define love in life. Your poem puts that into perspective. Well done.

Thank you ^^
Is it possible this all goes back to daddy and how he treated each one. Is it upbringing or choice?

You have gotten the better deal. Through experience or purpose?

Either way, nice writing.
