Ordinarily Unique

It's amazing how much teenage angst I can still feel as I reread this poem. But isn't that what makes it so great!?

Ordinarily Unique

No one knows who I am

No one’s even guessing

I almost know who I want to be

Then again no one wants me to be her

They all have their own ideas and plans

Of who I am and who I am to become

But they are all wrong I am none of those girls

I am a little bit of each

I am seriously hyper

I am quietly outspoken

I am impressively strong and gentle

I am rash and thoughtful

I am happily distressed

I have improperly perfect decorum

I am strangely normal

I am simply complicated

I am ordinarily unique

I may not be what you think I should

But I am who I am

And I can’t

No won’t

Change that
