Bloom

By: Grace Martin

Different: not the same as another.

My “friends” and I, we’re different from each other.

They are cool; I am not.

I am lame; they are hot.

Even when they’re wrong, people think they’re right.

They like the day; I like the night.

I always lose; they always win.

I stick out; they blend in.

Normal...the only definition I’ve got,

Normal...something I’m not.

Fitting in is what every girl wants.

Instead of that, I get teases and taunts.

But if being cool means doing dings and drink,

Normality is not for me, I think.

Bloom: to appear unexpected, in surprising degree.

Bloom...sounds like something for me.

I’m through with being a no one; it’s time for the world to see

I’m going to be a someone, so someone will see me.

You won’t know when, maybe far, maybe soon,

But look out world, ‘cause someday I’ll bloom.
