Brown eyes

A poem about a simple girl, with black hair and brown eyes.

Just another girl with black hair

And brown eyes,

Never seems to be noticed by the other 

Guys

Insecure and always feeling

Alone

Wondering if my heart will ever find 

A home

Wishing, wanting, waiting

For someone to notice

Me

The invisible girl 

With black hair

And brown eyes

You see?

I just want someone

To listen to me

I just want someone

To say they love me

I just want someone

Who doesn't drool over a blonde

I just want someone

Who can correspond

With my thoughts

Someone

Who likes brown eyes

I just want someone tall

Someone that'll listen

And that says it all

I have brown eyes

And black hair

I'll look in the mirror

And think

"Who's she?"

"Who's that ugly girl staring back at me?"

"Oh, wait, that's me."

You know,

I've been told that I'm pretty

I've been told that I'm "thick"

But then my brain'll fight with my heart

And they like to start a major conflict

I can't control what goes on in someone's head

But I'm just a girl with black hair

Black, not red

I can't control whether or not I have dimples

But I have brown eyes,

Yeah, plain and simple

Invisible

I'm just a girl

With black hair

and brown eyes

I thought of this while doing the dishes. Thoughts?

I don't know. From the photo. You look wonderful to me.
"I'm just a girl
With black hair

I liked the honest tone to the world. I like being left alone. Attention is hard work. Thank you dear poet for sharing your amazing words and thoughts.

Thanks for the compliment, Coyote! I like to keep my poems real, I like to keep them relatable. :) Thanks for your review!!! ❤️

[Coyote Poetry]

I tried to. Also. We must ensure our words can be understood. You are welcome dear poet.

[Chris Shaw]

I read this yesterday but my response got lost in the ether. The site is playing up. Anyway, I came back for seconds and to say I thought you expressed your emotions well in your poem. You know, I don't like mirrors either.

Simply being female is a huge advantage in the dating game. If you have enough patience to ignore the jerks, online dating can lead to some pretty amazing experiences.

“Whenever women have insisted on absolute equality with men, they have invariably wound up with the dirty end of the stick. What they are and what they can do makes them superior to men, and their proper tactic is to demand special privileges, all the traffic will bear. They should never settle merely for equality. For women, 'equality' is a disaster.”

Hair color has nothing to do with it, personality rules it all. Also being shy doesn't help.
I was really shy growing up and i never spoke to anyone. I was the Basket case like you see
in the Breakfast Club movie. I was a weirdo.

One day I just snapped and said no more.
I came out of my shell, took a few adult classes along with speech and drama and well
that got me out of my shell really fast. I found out I had talent from my drama teacher,
now I act in plays here in town. I love it. Hang in there it will get better.

Well, that totally, completely describes me, I'm super shy until I warm up to a person (that completely excludes my best friend Caleb is typing... it was like an instant connection with him), and I am a huge basketcase at times, not all the time. I appreciate this review. Thank you so much! :)

From one brown eyed girl to another - the shade of our eyes is TERRIBLY underrated and I'm angry at society for creating standards in which brown eyes and dark hair aren't deemed beautiful. BECAUSE THEY ARE! And you're beautiful! And so are your soul and talent! Keep your chin up lady - you're a brilliant f*****g poet!

[Nix is typing...]

I agree, Marija, the shade of our eyes really is extremely underrated. Lol, I think I might love this review more than all your others but who's to tell, you really do leave some awesometastic reviews. Thank you so much!!! ❤️❤️

least burnette's get took seriously. I am a blond people automatically think I am a ding bat... LOL

[Nix is typing...]

Lol well, it's the whole stereotype thing, isn't it? People automatically assuming things about people based on the way they look without even giving them a chance to speak. I really don't get taken seriously all that much, but it doesn't help that I tremble in my boots whenever I talk to anyone new, I suppose. I guess seventeen is an age where you lack so much confidence, but since I'm pretty much incognito on this site, I post my thought, I post my mind, I let people know what I'm thinking, without them even knowing who I am. You know?

[light and ashes]

This is just being a girl lol
especially a young girl, I think.
I'm still pretty young too, and I sometimes still feel like this.
I think it's something we will grow out of lol I hope.

I see you. I think you're pretty incredible and strong. Keep being who you are and keep writing.

[Nix is typing...]

I hope we grow out of it too, the life of a teenager seems to be full of insecurities which suck, majorly. I'm seventeen, so I guess on here, I'm considered young, lol. I do intend to keep writing whenever a thought pops in my head, I'll actually run to my computer and jot it down. :)
Thanks for your review! ❤️

[light and ashes]

You're very young, which is not a bad thing. It's actually a good thing.

[Caleb is typing...]

So beautifully written bestie! You have quite a talent of conveying honestly through poetry, and it's great to see people being real. The world we live in wants us to fake it and just smile cause that's right, but these are deep thoughts that we all often wonder. Quite relatable, and beautiful :)

[Nix is typing...]

Awww, thank you bestie! Yk my whole, "being real" quality is one of the reasons we're best friends ❤️
Lol, I literally thought of this one while I was doing the dishes and dancing to NF songs, but my mind wanders while I have NF blasting in my ears and this is where it came to. :3 Your reviews always mean so much to me ❤️❤️❤️❤️
