I don't cake on a ton of makeup in the morning,
I just apply some mascara if I have the time.
Am I too boyish?

I don't listen to popular rap music,
I listen to Sleeping with Sirens, Blood on the Dance Floor, and Three Days Grace, yet One Direction as well.
Does that mean I have bad taste in music?

I don't do sports after school,
I participate in things like the school play and Battle of the Books.
Does that make me a reject?

I don't put effort into styling my hair,
I choose styles that are easiest to care for.
So that means you have to judge me?

I don't act dumb or keep quiet in class,
I speak my mind and get straight A's.
Is that why you only talk to me when you need homework help?

I don't throw myself at every boy I have a crush on,
I savor our rare conversations and try to gradually befriend them.
Am I a loser that'll never get a boyfriend?

I don't watch Teen Mom or MTV,
I watch anime and channels like Disney Channel.
Does that make me too childish?

I don't spend a lot of time planning my outfit on weekends,
I throw on clothes I wouldn't wear to school.
Why should that matter?

I don't give up on people I haven't hung out with since elementary school,
I try to adapt to their changes and rebuild our friendship.
Does that make me desperate for friends?

I don't come from a fancy neighborhood,
I come from the farm I lived on for 11 years.
Am I a country bumpkin, then?

Am I not "normal"?
In Language Arts, we had to write an I'm Not Normal poem. This was mine (I wrote the longest one in my class... Everyone else's was literally about half this length. ^^;) This was questionably the most fun I ever had working on an assignment...
