Endangered Species

Are women the only ones who are on the verge of becoming an endangered species? Are hips, thighs, and twerking videos all that I need as requirement to gain your attention? Are my eyes not brown enough, my smile not bright enough? How about my mentality and the capacity of my brain? Oh you don't care about that, because none of that matters if you don't have Facebook and Instagram popularity or a fan base of men and women dying to see which outfit that you will take a picture in today. Stand with your middle finger to the sky andpoked out, pose for the world to see how great that you are. Why is your conversation leading to sex? So my thighs are thick, that must mean that at this very moment I absolutely need to know that you are watching porn and thinking of me even though i have given you no indication that i desire sex with you. But wait tell me more about how you want to be famous and how many bottles of liquor that you took photos of and showed off on social media. Tell me how there are no real women left and you are just looking for that special one to call your  (sigh)....."bae?"  What the hell is that??? Whatever it is I don't want it. You are a 25-35 year old man. Why do you act this way? Maybe it's the real men who will be extinct. Because i can't seem to find real conversation with any of these boys who dress and work like men. With the only interest that is asked about me is... "So what you gettin into tonight?"  Where have all the real men gone? As grownpeople, let's buy his & her jordans and post them online.... #shoegamewiththebaeonpoint...... VERY LOUD SIGH! I really hate to burst that colorfulbubble that you have been living in.... But this is very unattractive. Well at least to me it is. I don't need that type of drama in my life. You call me boring or an old lady because I'm 26  and  I would rather go to a poetry concert than to a club with the same people who expect you.... no excuse me require you to have on a new outfit each time that you go out... I don't mind the club but Monday through Saturday is just not my thing. And showing off for groups of strangers has never appealed to me. So please continue to explain to me how all of your ex girlfriends are crazy and still in love with you...... but you communicate with them daily. All while singing tunes of me being your "special one," the one that just might be able to tame that prepubescent fool hiding behind that 6'2 frame and strong back but with no, no, no titles. Cuz you know I wouldn't want to upset my "friends" seeing how we still communicate and all... (wink,wink) You know I love you girl....... Yeah PAUSE! Who told you that I wanted to raise you? I could've sworn that job was already given and finished or so she thought. But I guess that this is who we are left with. Which can only mean 1 thing for me.... Rite aid, walmart and wherever else batteries are sold will be VERY busy for the next few years!
