Still Single Poem by Melanie Emikohe

Still Single

Rating: 5.0


It is not enough
that men gaze at me
with lust and proclaim
my worth which
I've already been told.

When he wishes me
to be his girlfriend
or pray that he'd find
the same, it flatters
but to no effect.

For none of those
who had the courage
to look had the will
to invite as if I'd bite,
as if I'd turn 'em down.

I need to be in a time where they comprehend my complications. Streets are cornered with emos, ghosts, gays and metros. What's a girl to do? care, Sus.
