The chirping of the yellow-tailed bird found its way
to her ears and like the birds wings, her eyes flutter
open to a poster of a pre-adolescent Justin Bieber
smiling at her with his floppy hair.
She sighs and gets up.
The dimly-lit bathroom reflects the uniform of
neutral expression she irons, wrinkle free.
She stares at the person in front of her.
Out the door without a glance at the attempted
breakfast her father made.
Danny? Damien? Whatever.
She walks, Not Afraid by Eminem piercing her eardrums.
But it doesn't bother her like it used to. Like when she cried
as the shouts invaded, unannounced.
And now, she embraces the distraction. Drowning in the
calm of the rushing river of words describing the exact opposite
She feel... numb.
And so that automatically makes her just like 99.99% of the
population. A dime, no, a penny a dozen.
Nothing new. Nothing unique.
Just a girl living her life like any other.

This piece of poetry potrays the daily rituals the average teenage girl goes through in today's generation. Hoping to be "normal" or "average" (although some people deny to desire such things) to blend in the crowd per say is what this girl's life is. By doing this, I hope to shed some light that being "normal" is kinda boring.
