I am not the type of girl
Whose favorite color is pink,
I love green.

I am not the type of girl
Who lives for tiny yappy dogs,
Give me a St. Bernard.

I am not the type of girl
Whose afraid to get my hands dirty,
Hand me some flowers, bulbs, and seeds.

I am not the type of girl
Who goes in for Juicy Coutre at Neimann Marcus,
Give me JC Penny and Macy’s any day.

I am not the type of girl
Who’s scared to smile at strangers,
I smile which could brighten someone’s day.

I am not the type of girl
That is an archetype,
I am more than one layer of my shadow
I don’t want to be a persona,
But an anima.
