Out of Reach

Some say "your standards are too high"

Some say "you could only wish"

Some say "you can get him, only if your lucky"

Some say "hes too good for you, shoot lower"



Heres what I say,

I want what I cannot recieve.

I push away what craves me.

I am not just a girl.



Some say "you can only get him if your easy"

Some say "put out, he'll come back for more"

Some say "buy him something, get his attention"



I say,

let me be myself

What I want,

I can somehow grasp



I'm not going to cheat my way to his heart.

I'm not going to buy his love.

I'm gonna sit back, and look at the boy out of my reach.

your poem touched my heart. because i have once felt that way. i like the use of the quatotaion marks and the way your poem is like a conversation. i think its unique.
