Just A Normal Girl © Leanne Blount
I’d like to think myself as normal,
Just an ordinary girl.
But I’m not into butterflies,
I don’t do ballet twirls.
I hate wearing make-up,
No eye shadow or blush.
I don’t have time in a morning,
As I’m always in a rush.
I don’t wear fancy underwear,
Especially not a thong.
For all the girls who do out there,
I think it’s kind of wrong.
I don’t spend hours on the phone,
Just simply chatting away.
I only need to take five minutes,
On my hair everyday.
My room is not spotless,
My room is not a tip.
I don’t put powder on my nose,
I don’t give teachers lip.
I don’t go after every boy,
That I come across.
I don’t think I’m better than everyone,
Don’t think that I’m the boss.
I don’t walk with my breasts,
Held high up in the air.
I don’t try to shake my bottom,
Or twirl and flick my hair.
I just want to get through,
These taunting years of school.
I don’t care what you think of me,
I don’t care if I’m not ‘cool’.
And I do have a good time,
A laugh with all my friends.
I balance it with learning,
This is my beginning, not my end.
