Ya'll

Folder: 
Poetic Princess

Once again I thought that you might be the one

That one that I been searching for in every man since 2001

Yes

Every man

And I can sit here and lie and say

My famous line-

You seemed different

But the fact of the matter is-

All of ya’ll are different

From each other

I can sit here and stroke your ego and say –

You were the best

But all of ya’ll been pretty good

At one thing or another

I could also sit here and say that my search is going to

Stop

Because I’m tired

Of getting my heart broken

But truthfully

Honestly

I swear to goodness

It will only get stronger

I will only search harder

Deeper

I only have one question though

Is it me?

Or is it ya’ll

Seems as though when the going gets tough

And things get serious

The men

They

Disappear…

Never mind- don’t answer that

I have my answer

So, man

Have a good life

I hope you find what it is that you’re looking for

And don’t worry about me

I always get what’s good for me

I guess

Ya’ll must not be that good

Gotta say, I love this poetic piece.. Being a guy, you might think us (us being Ya'll in this poem =) ) would be offended, but truthfully, I was not. I found it... not humorous but i was grining and smiling... basically because its true (plus i love the word ya'll) I am northerner that moved southern. More than that though I LOVED the fact, you didn't put our flaws on your shoulders. You raised the question though. It shows your strengths not only as a writer, but as a women. Loved it. and just to let ya know, not all guys are like the ya'll guys
