Baby

Baby, let me tell you something

My name is Sunny and here’s the thing

Beauty don’t matter

If you’re an a*****e

 

Let me tell you a secret

You can’t buy love

‘Cause you’ll always feel empty

They’ll never feel the same about you

They’ll never care for you

‘Cause all they want is your cash and you sports car

 

They won’t love you like me

Because I dig deep

I check your heart before I come outside

I open my eyes and see who I like

Before I know what they got on

Their pockets

Nice flow of thoughts and some wisdom tried to be given. People do like money and nice cars. Can drawn the wrong people.
"They won’t love you like me
Because I dig deep"

I liked how you ended the poem with "their pockets". The stanza including the line "because I dig deep"...and continuing to "their pockets" seems like it has some unfulfilled metaphorical potential. Pockets, digging deep, maybe an image of shiny coins and pocket lint, I would elaborate a little here abkout igging down into someone's pockets and trying to bring up their heart or soul.....or, well. I liked it.

I really, really enjoyed the style that you used while writing this one. You sent a bit of a mixed message in the content though. First it feels like you are admonishing somebody a little bit for being a shallow a*****e, but in the last stanza that seems to change to be talking to somebody who you love, and instead are talking about, well, the competition.

So, it is clear that you are saying as you are not as shallow as somebody else, it is confusing exactly who though.

I really like the style, you may just want to make it a little bit clearer.

I really enjoyed this poem. I love the candidness of it and its a wonderful statement as well. I wish more people would actually look at the actual person and not get caught up on what flashes on the outside.
