I Am Not

Location

I am not a girl you would find in magazines

Unruly hair, sweats before jeans, eating an unhealthy cuisine.

I am not a girl you would find on a movie screen

Playing by my own rules and I hate being treated like a machine.

I am not a girl you would find in romantic story

The “boy saves girl” idea is false and shouldn’t be given that much glory.

I am not a girl you would find on a billboard

Too short is my height and my stomach has fat being stored.

I am not a girl you would find on reality TV

Drama is not for me, being rude and inconsiderate is not how I be.

I am not a girl you would find in advertisements

Money does not buy happiness, while the love of a family is permanent.

 

While I am not a girl with any fame or notoriety

I am just a girl who is just trying to do her best to survive in our society.
