writen by: jordan <br /> <br /> <br />I’d like to think myself as normal, <br />Just an ordinary girl. <br />But I’m not into butterflies, <br />I don’t do ballet twirls. <br /> <br />I hate wearing make-up, <br />No eye shadow or blush. <br />I don’t have time in a morning, <br />As I’m always in a rush. <br /> <br />I don’t wear fancy underwear, <br />Especially not a thong. <br />For all the girls who do out there, <br />I think it’s kind of wrong. <br /> <br />I don’t spend hours on the phone, <br />Just simply chatting away. <br />I only need to take five minutes, <br />On my hair everyday. <br /> <br />My room is not spotless, <br />My room is not a tip. <br />I don’t put powder on my nose, <br />I don’t give teachers lip. <br /> <br />I don’t go after every boy, <br />That I come across. <br />I don’t think I’m better than everyone, <br />Don’t think that I’m the boss. <br /> <br />I don’t walk with my breasts, <br />Held high up in the air. <br />I don’t try to shake my bottom, <br />Or twirl and flick my hair. <br /> <br />I just want to get through, <br />These taunting years of school. <br />I don’t care what you think of me, <br />I don’t care if I’m not ‘cool’. <br /> <br />And I do have a good time, <br />A laugh with all my friends. <br />I balance it with learning, <br />This is my beginning, not my end.<br /><br />Phillip Ahrens<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/just-a-normal-girl/
