The Words in my Head


My forehead is a little too tall

My nose is a little too there

My face is round and my hair just does this thing

 

I don't really care that insert celebrity name here is dating

Cetrainly don't care that you're upset abou it

And I kind of wonder why you're still talking

 

I've got curves in the right places

But more of them are in the wrong places

And my feet are kind of big

 

No, I don't think you're in the right

You're actually quite in the wrong

Why should I validate you? I don't owe it to you

 

I'm a little ugly

But then again, damn I'm cute

So I think I'll stick with cute, it fits me fine

 

I have a mind of my own

And you do not dictate my life

You do not own me, don't act like you do.

I like writing poetry, but I don't know if I'm good enough to call myself a poet. I'm mainly a fiction writer, dreaming to one day be an author.
