Your eyes light up at the sight of diamonds and gold We differ in many ways, let the truth be told Sparkly diamonds are your best friends I say they are all for show those pricey gems Madonna sang about you, you're the material girl Believing men are your pensonal banks in the world Love is't measure by how much he spends on you How he makes you feel emotionally proves if his love is true You are never satisfied, you crave gifts galore If every man in the world spoiled you, youd want more I prefer sweet men, doesn't matter if they're broke As long as they have a good personality and laugh at my jokes I dont want a man who thinks he can make me happy by reaching into his pocket, thats just wrong I much rather him do something special for me Like write me a love song! I'd put it in a frame for all to see I'm a hopeless romantic, can you blame me? You would ball it up and toss it in the trash Make him feel so guilty til he spends more cash! Especially on things that you don't even need Racking up on useless, expensive items just shows everyone your greed If I want something, I'll buy it myself If I can't afford it, I'll admire it from the shelf When you saw that I wear silver You thought it was funny I'm sorry your so into price tags And large amounts of money If dollars were edible you'd always be hungry! With all the money spent on you it's a shame You cannot match presidents' faces with their names The only thing you're aware of is that its green Sorry to burst your royal bubble but your not a queen Your mouth is nonstop since your brain is so small I like to spend my time doing creative things like poetry and art..you prefer the mall In your eyes I am a nerd That's just something I'll pretend I never heard Will you ever get tired of stickin your hand out And faking a smile? Stop being artificial, try being natural once in a while! You're 29 years old with a bad outlook on life but you will envy me someday When I have happiness, true love, and Mr. Right!

LOL at this great line: "With all the money spent on you it's a shame You cannot match presidents' faces with their names" Guess you told her, but did she listen or even understand? I doubt it, but she's your sis, so you probably love her anyway, hoping she will wise up someday. |

This poem is deep! Reminds me of one I posted on the Teen site. Keep the hits coming! As my borough has always stated- Do or Die. |

RosePetal, This is probably the best thing I have read in a while, in that it speaks volumes to me. Even though I don't have a boyfriend, I do have friends and my favorite times with them are the simple times we spend together that don't cost a dime. Memories made with loved ones are priceless, yet when one asks how much did you spend on that activity, etc, it is the fond memory that springs to mind, not the cost. I hope I made sense here. Dawn |
