Throw Away Girl

She realized a long time ago

She’s not a keeper

She’s always been the throw away girl

She’s never understood

The reasons though.

Her heart was open

So much love to give

When she gave them a chance

She wanted the same

But, one after the next

They used her and left

Until pain built up walls

The only protection she had

She knows her worth

She knows her faults

She’s not perfect

She’s real

The men she saw some hope in

The men she let her guard down for

Did not care to keep her

Did not care to really see her

They got what they wanted

Then tossed her aside

Always for another

Always for a keeper

She learned to be alone

Like it or not

But, even when she’s strongest

Even in her aloneness

She holds out hope

That someone, someday

Will see her worth

Will think she’s a keeper

And maybe someday

She’ll no longer be

Just a throw away girl.
