I am nothing special.
Just a girl,
Just a girlfriend,
Just an advice giver.
But underneath it all,
I have a story.
Like everyone else.
I have a complex life, like everyone else.
And I also have a difficult love,
One for everything I hold dear.
And you may too.
And you may also share my story.
A small, thin, preppy girl
Who loves the color pink.
Excels in school.
And gives good advice.
But has always been compared to
Her younger
And weaker
And less intelligent
Brother.
A sexist father that
Never spoke to me.
And a mother who blamed me for everything
And still does.
And both of the people who raised me
Had problems with alcohol
And cigarettes.
And it didn't help at all that
I had mental and intuitive
Capabilities that were lost to me.
And a disease plaguing
My mind that generations past
Have passed to me.
Friends that have betrayed me,
Past loves that have ruined me,
A new love that has made me
feel more than I ever have
And a vision that darkens my skies.
It has ruined me.
Broken me.
Scarred me.
But I am who I am,
Just like you are who you are.
And we are nothing special.
Sorry to disappoint you.
