Some people see
Beyond appearances
Some girls just like
To shake their ass

Some birds hover
In beauty
With perfect wings
And want no praise

Some bare their soul
For vultures
As my kin

Some offer beauty
And expect no return

But others use our loving
Like a gun

And I don’t know
How to remove
This target
From my chest
