my favorite poem: Nothing Girl by Christelle Duvenage

Nothing Girl

by Christelle Duvenage

Maybe I wear baggiesand white socks with flip-flops,
maybe I don't like listening to raveand 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 smileswhich seems to be a sin today,
and maybe I allow my imagination
to sometimes run away,
maybe you don't understand thisand
that's why you cannot see,
if this make me a nothing girl,
hey, that's ok with me!

The world makes you
believeyour personality mustn't be detected,
your face must be picture perfectand wear cloths just the best, to be accepted.
Maybe I look at youand 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!
