Boys and Toys

• Artist: Sadette
• Description: Well this lil number is a piece from back in my day. I wrote this poem when I was 14. I'm 19 now. I guess it reflects how dating was back then for my friends and I. I've much improved since then, just felt like seeing the reaction to my very first works in poetry. Tell me how you like it, and if you hate it rub it in my face. I love criticsm, it helps us grow. - Miss Jenny
  
  P.s. I typed it just how it was back then, in case you were wondering.

A heart is not a plaything
A heart is not a toy
But if you want yours broken
Just give it to a boy
Boys- they like to play with things
To see what makes them run
And when it comes to kissing
They'll do it just for fun
They never give their heart away
They play us girls for fools
They wait until we give our hearts
And then they play it cool
You'll wonder where he is at night
You'll wonder if he's true
One minute you'll be happy
One minute you'll be blue
So to fall in love with a boy
That takes alot of nerve
You see my friend, you need a man
To get what you deserve

well i agree hearts r not toys and we need men not boys i mean i thought i was wit a man it was a boy that just tried to be a man

To tell you the truth I am a guy and I've had a girlfriend but we had to break up because I had to move, but then I sought out why, well because some love is a lie. Girls can be just as bad as a guy.

I love this one! Seriously, girls need to seek a man, not a boy. Because a boy simply isn't mature enough to really care...

I don't think there's any sexism in this. It's just pointing out that boys are incapable of true love, just as girls are. It's a woman and a man who can really understand love. Great job!

Its well composed, and entertaining...i resent the sexism, but lets face it...its just THAT good of a poem razz ...Maybe, Miss Jenny, i can be the first to prove that a boy and a gentleman are NOT the same...
