But I'm not a nail
polish girl.

And I don't giggle
like the other girls.

I almost was a super model
I'm too small and my feet
are too big.

I don't care.

I've got some crooked teeth
and some bite marks
from the pedals of my bike.

And boys have never topped
my list of favorite pastimes.

I hated school dances and talking on the phone.
Happiest moments
are always spent alone

never wasted on tan in a can boys
and girls who crave drama.

I may not look like Barbie
(she has no personality anyway).
I don't look like an angel
and I don't care.

I like the way it feels
when I bite my tongue.
I like the way
pain smiles at my grimace.

I think that I am super girl
and I like to wonder
about things I'll never know.

I don't care.
What you see is what you get.
Is that okay?

Yes it is ok! Wow do you know me or something? You described me perfectly in this poem. I really dig the girls who just don't give a... ERR!!!... anyway I think you catch my drift. That's what I'm all about, be yourself and nobody else.

Good, Good, Good!

This one really hit home with me, because I was on overload today because of people judging me. Loved the poem.

Susan~
It's MORE than 'ok'..it's wonderful!
I absolutely LOVE the positive attitude
and 'feel' of this piece.
Great job!

Great poem! The world is full of cookie cutter people. It is good to be different.
