Girls and Apples

Girls

are like apples

on trees. The best ones

are at the top of the tree.

The boys don’t want to reach

for the good ones because they

 are afraid of falling and getting hurt.

Instead, they just get the rotten apples

from the ground that aren’t as good,

but easy. So the apples at the top think

something is wrong with them, when in

reality, they’re amazing. They just

have to wait for the right boy to

come along, the one who’s

brave enough to

 climb all

the way

to the top

of the tree.

So I just love this poem, a good friend gave 

this to me and I've had it

hanging on my wall ever since. 

Just a reminder that nothing is wrong with me. 

I'm perfectly fine the way I am. 

I was also listening to a song

and it made a reference to apples in being picked

by the right boy! I just had to share!

 Like an apple on a tree

Hiding out behind the leaves

I was difficult to reach 

But you still picked me

Ah hope its a wonderful thing!

I'm such a girl!
