I'm Not that Girl

by Aish   Jul 14, 2008


Theres a type of girl who is not me
Who I told myself I would never be
Shes the type of girl I look at in scorn
The type of girl who acts like shes torn

Shes the type of girl who falls straight away
For a boy that shes known for only a day
Shes the girl who goes doe eyed and whose cheeks go red
And dreams of this boy every night in her bed

She chases this boy with text messages galore
And spends all day longing for him to call
Shes trapped by her wanting, shes truly obsessed
And her heart pounds loudly beneath her left breast

Shes the type of girl who replays in her mind
Their few moments together, and this makes her cry
This is the girl who is not me
Who I told myself I would never be

Im the type of girl who is tall and strong
Whos happy and content, whos life is a song
The type of girl who loves to flirt
Whos single and wild, not afraid of the dirt

The type of girl who loves her friends
And who helps their broken hearts to mend
Who gives them advice on not needing guys
And anyone who says otherwise tells nothing but lies

The type of girl who rejects boys with grace
Not cruel, just simply wanting her space
This is the girl Im proud to be
And everyone else is convinced but me

Because I met you and you made my heart leap
Ive Never before had a feeling so deep
It an alien feeling but compelling no less
And so here I am needing to confess

That girl who I protested was not me
Is the exact portrait of who youve made me to be
Im not proud of the image but I must say
that I would not have it, any other way.

*Damn you and thankyou for making me THAT girl*

    Great poetic device in this and excellent structure. Usually I don't like long poems but this was exceptionally good.
