Just a typical girl
Atypical girl
I like a boy
Can’t tell him so
I laugh with friends
And then I can’t stop
Read romance novels
Never see myself
Go shopping lots
For sensory clothes
Study hard
It’s all online
I love pop songs
For their taste and color
Girls always love diamonds
I can’t wear a ring
Movies? Yes!
From a different room
I write poems of love
Can’t write my name
My goals are many
And all need support
The mirror reveals
A/typical girl

What a fantastic poem!
“I love pop songs
For their taste and color”
I can definitely relate to that. The synesthetic and sensory immersion of the phrases really moves me and make me nod in shared knowing.
Love this!!!
I enjoyed reading this Sofia!
Nice work Sofi! Thank you for sharing it.
Sofi, I love how you play with words, massage words, look at ideas from different angles, and create new ways to express universal ideas… like what Picasso did with visual images! I hope you publish your poetry in a book some day : )
Cześć, chciałem się podzielić moją historią, bo jeszcze niedawno miałem fatalną passę w grach liczbowych tutaj w Polsce. Już prawie odpuściłem, ale natknąłem się na spingranny i postanowiłem spróbować ostatni raz. Skupiłem się na automatach online i to był strzał w dziesiątkę, bo nie tylko odrobiłem straty, ale też wyszedłem na spory plus. Teraz patrzę na sloty zupełnie inaczej, bo emocje towarzyszące wygranej są po prostu nie do opisania.
What a powerful and relatable poem, it beautifully captures the duality of feeling both typical and unique in one’s own skin. The way you’ve woven the theme of identity with everyday details is really effective.
