Apple Tree Poem

Ok this isn't exactly fan fiction, and I didn't write it but I found this poem that I think puts some things into perspective:

------------------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

Ahh so sweet and sad

I love rotten apples.

I think i like to classify myself as one of those apples who's fallen off the tree, onto the ground and no one wants. Not even the VERY HUNGRY (desperate).

No honey, you're the one at the top that all the guys are scared to approach

I'm too opinionated thats why. Apparently thats a huge turn off for guys. A girl who speaks her own mind...oh well. Their loss.

In my experience with girlfriends, they tend to use the whole "Oh I just speak my mind" thing as a scapegoat for just being a bitch that has no consideration for people's feelings.

But then I've so overly sensitive to people.... it can be creepy.

I feel exactly the same way. I never have any luck. just have to wait longer that is all, not surprising for me anymore though.

^I believe good things happen to those who wait. Myself included. Its just frustrating how some find it so easy yet its so hard for others. But love isn't easy and anyone who says its easy hasn't experienced real love.

See?

I'm no saint. Of course i have a bitchy side to me. I'm a young woman full of hormones hahaha. But I do care about others. I ALWAYS put others before myself. I absolutely despise selfishness. Theres times when i think "shit i hope they didn't take that the wrong way" but i've always been a person to express myself. I can't sit in the corner of the room and just listen, i have to voice my opinion as well, even if its not the most popular opinion either. Thats just how i am and if guys don't like it then i guess i'm going to be single for a very long time.

Aw, welcome to my world!! I'M JUST KIDDING! Being single isn't all that bad...

This thread reminds me of one of my favorite songs of all time, "You Picked Me" by A Fine Frenzy. Keep your heads up ladies, this will be you, someday, I promise.

One, two, three
Counting out the signs we see
The tall buildings
Fading in the distance
Only dots on a map
Four, five, six
The two of us a perfect fit
You're all mine, all mine

And all I can say
Is you blow me away

Like an apple on a tree
Hiding out behind the leaves
I was difficult to reach
But you picked me
Like a shell upon a beach
Just another pretty piece
I was difficult to see
But you picked me
Yeah you picked me

So softly
Rain against the windows
And the strong coffee
Warming up my fingers
In this fisherman's house
You got me
Searched the sand
And climbed the tree
And brought me back down

And all I can say
Is you blow me away

Like an apple on a tree
Hiding out behind the leaves
I was difficult to reach
But you picked me
Like a shell upon a beach
Just another pretty piece
I was difficult to see
But you picked me
Yeah you picked me

^That song has got good lyrics. I'll listen to it now

And yes this poem is true. I'm sure all the single ladies on these forums are the best apples at the top of the tree
