I might like things that they do

I might sing songs that they do

I might walk a little bit like them

Or talk without thinking through

Just like they do

Sometimes I get antsy like they do

Maybe I’ll have bad days

Like they do, what’s new?

I probably have that bad streak

But the innocence covers that up

I hope you get to understand

What you see is hardly near to what you get

I might look like her and she might look like me

But I’m not just another girl

Sometimes I’m in love with JB

A little challenged, could be OCD

And I have that time of the month

I’ll bet you noticed that

When you were poking fun

I might smell a little like they do

I might laugh somewhat like they do

Maybe I even flirt just like they do

Or say things not entirely true

Just like they do

I may look like any other

But if it’s really you, you’ll see

You’ll discover on your own

I’m not just another girl

I’m unknown

When you scrape beneath all the layers

By bringing out what you can of me

I know you’ll find someone unique

Someone to love, a love to be

Even when I walk, talk, eat, laugh

Even when I whine, cry, sing, flirt

Just like they do

There’s more to me

I’m not just another girl

    I arrived from your letter on Letters to Crushes and I must say that this is absolutely brilliant. I love great poetry. Did you write it??
