I'm not the prissy little girl
you hoped I'd be.
I don't like pink or ballerinas.
I hate dancing and dresses.
I love to rock and hang with the guys,
and wonder what it's like to have peanuts in my nose.
I'm me,
you can't change me.
So why do you bother
to try?
I love my converse and my spikes
hate girly makeup and perfume.
I'm me,
you can't change me.
So why do you bother
to try?
I sit on the benches laughing at
the girls who plaster their faces
with makeup and masks,
with the skin tight clothes.
And in my mind
I know,
I'll be the one who will surive in the end.
Not the 'popular' girls who couldn't find their way out of a paper bag.
I'm me,
you can't change me.
So why do you bother
to try?
Comment: I just found out that this was used in my school newspaper. Hooray! I feel so proud of myself.. And there's another poem of mine in there too. ^^
Comment: Brookie.....Ray Davies once wrote a song way before you were born called "Don't Ever Change".
Not to quote Billy Joel, but I love you just the way you are. You are an amazing talent with the greatest sense of humor. I could not ask for a better daughter.
Love,
Daddy
