Only reason someone tells you that your dream is stupid is b/c they don't have any dreams of their own.

When you look at me,
You see boobs and butt.
When you talk at me,
You are picturing me nude.
The words that come out of my mouth,
are smoke into the air.
When you look at me
You don't see
The person I am.
You see the body you want.
So you think you can play me.
Thinking that I'll let you play with me.
But boy, that's not true.
When you look at me,
You don't see
The girl that cam see through you.

I was inspired to write this because I saw the way certain guys tried to treat me and I didn't like it.
