Cool Girl Sonnet

To keep an easy life, invent some charms,

And hold the secret close that they’re self-made.

Unnatural, they’ll be heavy on your arms,

But pin them to your sleeve as accolades.

The best thing girl can be is not a girl,

But hot and understanding: this is charm.

And if the lies you made start to unfurl

The woman that you made has bought the farm.

If there is sweetness in you it will die

The moment man has marched upon your field.

Giving all to sweetness as a fruit fly,

You do not let him love a girl who’s real.

In love, for safe, facades are golden rule,

And this is why you give yourself to cool.
