I have never been that girl.
I am not the girl you see at every party,
kissing boys on the mouth
and girls on the cheek.
I have never been that girl
who speaks without raising her hand
or shouts at football games.
I have always been the girl
in the corner of the room,
black rimmed glasses peaking over
the top of a good book.
impressing my english teacher
with the words I put on paper.
the girl who spends hours at the mall
in the book store
rather than the makeup store.
the girl with band tee shirts
from the 80's.
the girl who knows more about punk rock
than most girls know about
the music on the radio.
see I am the type of girl
who enjoys kisses in the rain
big sweaters and coffee shops
rather than vodka and crop tops.
I am the girl who sits in the corner
writing poetry while her classmates
talk about last night's party.
the girl who gets excited
over book reports and creative writing.
I learned from a book I read once,
while the others were at parties
while I was at home,
that there is a word for someone like me,
and lord,
what a fitting definition.

a/n: if you know the book in the picture, I adore you. this poem was based off of that, my favorite part of the book.
