Happy Valentine's Day

You may not know this,

But to me,

To girls like me, to us

It's just another capitalist holiday,

This things called Valentine's Day.

We don't need a calendar

To remember ourselves

Of the deepness of our feelings,

We don't need a manual,

To be in love

Regardless of our fears.

And girls like me

Wear their hearts proudly

Right at the corner of their souls

So that they fall easily

into the unselfish black hole.

Girls like me are fools!

And are rarely right,

But our eyes recognize honesty.

They blink when in front of commitment.

And our bodies are allergic to gravity.

We don't wear rings!

Our fingers weren't built for marriages.

These hands are art agents,

Made to hold pain,

Heal hurt,

Bring help,

Put bandages.

These hands are mothers.

And girls like me

Make beautiful daughters.

Daughters whose children

Will freely open up their wings

And love away, everyday!

Not just in Valentine's day.

Girls like me

Don't need February 14th,

Or anniversaries.

We celebrate our feelings

All the time.

We don't need dates.

And we love red,

But we hate roses.

We'd rather just bleed our words out 

And watch our lovers making

their promises proud.

Girls like me,

Write and Read poems everyday.

Hear and sing about love always!

But anyways,

Happy valentine's day.
