Girl-friend-zoned

"Girl-friend-zoned"

My guy friends say
they are always "friend-zoned"
or terrible cliche's
about how nice guys finish last

oh how oppressing it must feel
to be a "nice" guy
while I am here
cleaning up the wreckage
on your shores

my male friends complain
about helping girls
Holding open doors for Girls
Lending Their Jackets To Girls
BEING ANNOYED WITH....GIRLS

and then there is me
to my displeasure
listening to every. single. word. you say
knowing precisely what it takes
to make you laugh

how dismal it must be
to have such a great friend
that is a Lady

I'm starting to think
you are destitute of vision
or perhaps I am only visible when needed
because I have always been
standing right in front of you

I regard you
as if you hang the moon
every. single. night
but fuck your lunar cycle
and your compliance with these...GIRLS

I am withdrawing from your
gravitational friend-sphere
and starting my own zone
where friends can open doors for me
where I can say thank you
and expect nothing more
than just being a "nice"....girl
