! Creative Writing & Poetry !, Original Characters and Something To SayShe is
faded blue jeans
with holes in the knees
a dirty white t-shirt
covered in mustard stains and engine grease
on any given Saturday
She is
black fingernail polish on a Tuesday
because she wants people to wonder
short skirts in church
to make the choir boys’ minds wander
She is
jealous of the girl who has
the boy she didn’t want
the lies she tells her friends
about the guy she hasn’t slept with yet
that cool bando chick
misplaced like lost money
unexpected, but refreshingly so
She is
a tongue piercing that she got when she was stoned
that she takes out around authority figures
‘cause her parents do not know
the mistakes she will evidently make
as she will learn and grow
eventually going to tell them the truth
maybe
She is
trying to make you uncomfortable
just to see you squirm
She is
intelligent, and strong in her demeanor
throwing off the curve in all her classes
expelled for kicking some cheerleaders’ asses
in love with her history teacher
She is
poetry that breaks all the rules
the girl all the bad guys want
but won’t admit to
a guilty pleasure
She is
all of the above
none of it
and more

Hi JM,
I did enjoy your poem, it flowed well and seemed to explain the modern teenage girl pretty well actually – at least the ones I’ve seen!
Thank you for sharing it on RB!
Kind regards from (an open-minded) Cobie :-)
