I Hate But...

I hate the way he talks

But his voice sends me to laughter

I hate his hair

And yet when he runs his hands

Through it

I get butterflies

I hate the way he is everywhere

But I look for him

My eyes searching for his

I hate his loudness

But I find peace

In the ability to hear him

I hate his competitiveness

And yet I do the same

Both of us wanting to win

I hate that he is good at sports

In a stereotypical way

But my eyes search the field

Looking for his number

I hate the idea

Of me liking him

And yet I'm liking him

  • This Book

    There was this book

    That I used to read

    When I was younger

    It talked about all these women

    All these women

    Who did amazing things

  • Magnets

    When magnets are placed the right way

    They connect

    When they're placed the wrong way

    They use everything in their power to stay away

    From each other

    They resist

    With a force

  • For Every Time

    Every time a women makes 87 cents

    A man makes a dollar

    For every time a woman gets spoken down on

    A man is the speaker

    For every time a woman gets called weak

    A man is weaker
