I have a girlfriend who is too shy
she has a tendency to let men push
her around
because if they are pushing
they are there
thus she isn't alone

she is too shy
and does not make the men
she sleeps with
wear condoms
she can't push the words out
her tightly closed throat
and every month
before her period
she worries
and paces
and cries herself to sleep
scared half to death
until finally
thankfully
her body speaks
and
throws the bad seed
away

This seemingly simple poem is quite a psychological profile. I think we all know such a girl. sigh.

Some of us have even been her.

well y'woke me up. I only pray she wakes up soon too. tsk.

I think I'll have another cup of coffee anyway.

A very sad profile. I feel sorry for anyone who would have such low self-esteem. Besides the pregnancy issue brought up in your informative poem, there is also the disease factor. Hope you can talk to this young woman. You expressed the way of many, I am afraid.

Good job.

Hugs, Pat

There are so many people out there thinking only of the act and not the consequences...
Sad......

Harmful choices caused by lack of self esteem...
Then causing behaviors that cause even less
esteem and more harmful self destructive
choices....

The cycle never ending, ever repeating...
until they finally say they need help...
and believe they do!!

Sad part of evolution/creation..

Gift her a pack of protection and compassion, and keep your fingers crossed while hoping her legs learn that technique.

you have to talk to her! It's not just an every month thing now...it's a lifelong sentence...a death sentence. Please talk to your friend. I personally am not having sex right now, haven't for awhile...tastes change...but I was just like that...and I can see that your friend has a reckless attitude and I'm going to tell you, she will end up with a baby or even worse...AIDS!
