Boys can be so weird
They always leave the girls hanging
Hardly showing any emotion
But also forgetting that
We can't read minds
To figure out
What they
Actually
Mean

Boys can be so weird
They enjoy showing off their strengths
Hoping it'll somehow impress
The girls on their mind
But they don't realize
It just comes off as
Egotistic
Macho
Vain

Boys can be so weird
They try to tell us that they're tough
And they can handle anything
But it's not hard to see
The insecurities they hide
Beneath their
Almost
Hilarious
Charades


Boys can be so weird

But then again

They're just as weird as girls

This is not a poem meant to torment the guys out there. This is just an observation I had in class one day.

It's sad that this is so true, but I enjoyed reading this and it's an honest portrayal of boys, girls, and people as a whole. Great job, this is very good.
