Maybe I wear baggies
and white socks with flip-flops,
maybe I don’t like listening to rave
and I’m not on the social mountaintops,
maybe I don’t care about the things
that make your worlds twirl,
maybe you look at me and think:
“Gee, what a nothing girl.”

Maybe I like giving smiles
which seems to be a sin today,
and maybe I allow my imagination
to sometimes run away,
maybe you don’t understand this
and that’s why you cannot see,
if this make me a nothing girl,
hey, that’s ok with me!

The world makes you believe
your personality mustn’t be detected,
your face must be picture perfect
and wear cloths just the best, to be accepted.
Maybe I look at you
and feel sorry that you’re blind,
robots you have became,
yourself you’ll never find.

God made you, as well as me,
this means I am something,
the world is a liar
and if I must be a nothing
for you to see it,
then so be it!



Waves...amazing hey? Wind blowing over smoothe ocean water creates shear. The longer the wind blows, and the futher the fetch, the more energy gets transferred from the wind to the water. What started off as a breeze 1 000km away, ends up as a glass-faced barrel at some far off beach.

I really like this poem.  Finally someone who doesn't give a crap about what other people think about them.  I think that you are a really somethin girl.

This is really great, and really hits the spot on how I feel.  Be yourself even if it isn't the popular choice, and I've always tried to write a poem about not fitting in, but... not too much of a success yet.  This is really great, keep up the good work.

This is a wonderful poem.  I have always wondered just how many brand name jeans you have to wear to fit in, or what kind of shoes you have that makes you so popular.  I actually feel sorry for those people that believe that these things are what make you who you are.  Those kind of things get you no where in life.  It's all about individuality.  Great job!

I feel that this is an excellent poem that teaches one to forget about what others think, and just be themselves. After all, the one opinion that should matter most to you is your own. Well, that's how i feel, anyway. Good poem, and an exellent job doing it!

I, like everyone else in here can relate to your feelings here.  These days, I'm not trapped in that little maze anymore...I'm past that point in life, but I do remember being a nothing boy...thank god for being 20!!!  btw...are you a Savage Garden fan or what...they're my fav's of all time.  I'm going to see them in Chicago on Aug. 18.

To answer your question Jeremy...yeah, I like em, my music taste has changed, but I still like listening to them. You must enjoy their show  

Thanks again to all of your reply's, I don't think I ever got so many.

This is a awsome poem it really says a lot about how people have become mindless zombies and care more about fitting in then just relaxing and being thereselves. It really is a shame when people need to fallow others just to know what to do. This is aexcelent poem.

Wonderful poem. It takes alot of guts to be who you are when no one else wants to be who they are (did that make any sense?). Just stay true to yourself.
