Nothing Girl
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!
I found this poem and to me it relates to a few different voices in this book rather than one person.It has points about life that a few have touched on but not fully grasped in some stories they recognize the world for what it is. Then you have those girls who choose to follow everything the world wants them to become.I reveal that girls lives today are very confusing,unanswered dreams or nightmares. They can shift at any minute on a rocky path uncertain of what is right fore them or what is right for them because of society. What they need verses what they want. What they can have v.s what they can't.
