♥ Not A Stereotypical Tiffany ♥

I am not a typical Tiffany.

Popularity
Should mean everything to me.
I should depend on my friends
More than I should depend
On myself.

I am my own world!
I am independent
And prefer to hide in my shell
Rather then depend on others
When life gets the better of me.

I am not a typical Tiffany.

Tiffany's are usually blonde,
So they are stupid,
Right?
That is what the stereotypes say
After all.

I am bright, intelligent, creative!
I can think for myself
And accomplish things
No one could ever imagine,
even though
I have stereotypical hair to match my stereotypical name.

I am not a typical Tiffany.

I am supposed to be
Captain of the cheer squad
Alongside my quarterback boyfriend,
And no girl
Is allowed to make
My heart melt in my chest.

I have terrible coordination
And I am way too shy.
Gender does not matter to me.
Male or female,
I do not date
Simply out of popularity.

I am not a typical Tiffany.

I am supposed to love
Being in front of the camera,
Always the center of attention.
I should always make sure
I look pretty and perfect.
Besides,
My name is Tiffany after all.

I am self-conscious,
Never liking the flashing lights.
I prefer being behind the scenes,
Because I hate
Being the scene.

I am not a typical Tiffany,
For I am
AN ORIGINAL!

  11. Tiffany, you gave us all salmonella because it was so raw.
    Seriously, I like the repetition of your line, "I am not a typical Tiffany."
    Keep up the creativity.

  12. I like how the entire Poe, encompassed the way you decide to live your life while, at the same time, outlines your entire world view, in a way. The best one so far, by a longshot.

  14. I liked how you punched stereotypes in the face. You just took your name and made a 180 and changed how we are meant to perceive you based on your name. Very, very nice poem.
