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!
I like how you state that your different
ReplyDeleteI like how you said what a typical Tiffany was and how you are different
ReplyDeleteMy favorite poem yet. It was so honest and you compared yourself to stereotypes. Love it :)
ReplyDeleteThat was raw, because you compared yourself and how people would describe you depending on your name.
ReplyDeleteThat was very well written I like how you put the stereotypical version and then put how you actually are
ReplyDeleteI loved your poem a lot, very unique and you are a very different Tiffany than most. Very nice job (:
ReplyDeleteLol what a great poem lol I liked how you said your original.
ReplyDelete*.Lol * you're (sigh)
DeleteI liked how you used the stereotype & then you said what you really thought about yourself.
ReplyDeleteI liked that talked about what the stereotypical you is supposed to be like
ReplyDeleteI liked how you accept yourself for who YOU are and not what your name or hair says you should be. Well written good job.
ReplyDeleteTiffany, you gave us all salmonella because it was so raw.
ReplyDeleteSeriously, I like the repetition of your line, "I am not a typical Tiffany."
Keep up the creativity.
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.
ReplyDeleteThat was really good & I really liked it . I like how you did the stereotypical type and yourself. It was really good . :)
ReplyDeleteI 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.
ReplyDeleteIt was a very detailed and deep poem. I loved the repetition in your poem it really stood out. I also like how you used an example of how your supposed to be and explained how your different.
ReplyDeleteI like how you talked about how you are not going to conform to a 'stereotype' because that's just not who you are. Be original! You rocked it. Power to the people!!
ReplyDeleteI loved it! So much meaning and amazingness! Loved how you said you didn't fit the stereotypes cause of your name and I love your color!!! Yay good job!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (Btw those exclamation points took a lot of time and effort so know I mean all of them)
ReplyDeleteJessi calm down. Amazingness isn't a word
