Call me preppy. Call me goth.
        Call me anything you wish or want.
Try to label me. I dare you to.
                     Lets see all that you can do.

Stereotypes—I follow a few
                 Can I be all? Seems too good to be true.
I can be a princess—but you’ll probably call me a snob
                                 Perhaps I wish to be part of the Italian mob.

I can wear all black even if it isn’t Halloween
                  But sometimes I wear bright colors. Am I somehow stuck in-between?
Just because I’m frowning—doesn’t always mean I’m mad at the world
                                   I’m just not your average kind of girl.

Today I decided to dress down in jeans and sweatshirt
                  I was surprised by how many people called me “Down to Earth.”
When really inside my mind, I’m flying up high in the clouds
                              But when I wear all my bright colors—I get the feeling it’s “not allowed.”

Why do you try to judge me? I won’t follow through
                 You think you know me then I all of a sudden surprise you.
I’m not always cute. I’m not always pretty.
                                   But there is one thing I know…

                            I’LL ALWAYS JUST BE ME!
This was inspired by a conversation I had with =michelleleo71 ^^ Labels and stereotypes are just ridiculous. So anyway, I thought Michy would like this poem...

So this one is dedicated to her! Go visit her and check out her cool art and everything.


I owe her a big thanks for everything she has done. She's amazing with a big heart. :heart:
