Typical.
Nowadays it’s become ‘typical’ for guys to lie.
And ‘typical’ for pathetic girls to cry.
If that’s the case then I refuse to chase
After another typical boy
Just to be treated like another typical toy.
I’m not a play thing for anyone
So, if you think I am, then we’re done.
But wait a second, we never fully begun.
You’re just a typical dude
But I’m not your “typical” girl.
I won’t be fed your “typical” lies
In your made up, “typical” world.
I won’t be cheated on and lied to;
Because I refuse to be expected to cry for you.
Because that’s just what a “typical” girl would do.
And I’ll be d***ed if I’ll be your typical fool.

Inspired by all of the stereotypical boys I've met.

I have new work coming out every week. Yaay.

Great Job. The repetition was in all the right places. However, do not judge all us guys as typical because of the mistakes of the majority ;)

I love this, and i think so many girls can see where it's coming from, and relate.

I love how you write about real stuff! This poem is so true; boys really have become predictable.

I feel as though this poem has a lot of power. Maybe anger or a really huge opinion. Don't get me wrong :). The word typical balances it though. I like it!
