That One Girl

That One Girl
There will always be that one girl that stands out in a crowd
She seems free, but there are some things she is not allowed
Eat specific foods and go out on dates
Not climb the roof and never be late
There is more that meets the eye with most people you meet
So don't judge a book by its cover, it might get you beat

My Girl Life

My name is Mariella, but people usually call me Elly. I'm a girl that is expected of way to many things. People expect me to dress all fancy when i go to the store and never fart or burp, and I hate that. i walk around town in pajamas and I fart and burp all the time. Sure, people look at me like im an alien, but i don't care. I'm not going to let other people tell me I'm not perfect. Because, guess what, you aren't either. I have friends that don't mind that I'm weird, and they are THE BEST FRIENDS ON THE PLANET. My life would be totally different if I was a boy. I wouldn't get a period, my expectations would be totally different, and i would be able to ruff-house without worrying about my underwear showing. But my life is still interesting, i have much more leverage than other kids in the world, i have a phone and a laptop. Some kids don't even know what a phone is. I am very pleased with myself because I don't care about what other people think about me. I don't understand why woman wear the best clothes they have, just to go to Walmart. I wear my pajamas to the Theater sometimes, just for my comfort, not because I want to look good to impress the guys. I am not afraid to be myself, and I'm proud of it.

Barbie Doll

I think this poem is supposed to send a message to girls about opinions. Barbie was confident in herself and that's what made her beautiful. People were jealous of her and they wanted her to feel bad about herself. Everyone has their weaknesses, and barbies was people telling her she was ugly and dumb. That broke her down into a million pieces and she started to believe what people said to her and she tried to make herself perfect, she apologized to everyone because of her "ugly-ness" and she killed herself, trying to make herself perfect.
Compare & Contrast
Compare: We both are strong, pretty, and confident with nice families and friends.
Contrast: Barbie seemed to have her life good. She probably had a lot of friends and she got whatever she wanted. She always seemed to be happy, but i didn't have a perfect live, i always seem to be happy, but I'm really always sad. I have only 2 friends and i don't usually get what i want.
