I’m Not Strange

Published by arbpoet at 9:26 pm under Poetry Edit This

I am a girl that likes snakes.
I think they are so neat.

Bugs do not creep me out.
I will even dare to pick up a big
black spider.

I am crazy about trees even though
I am allergic.
As a child I hugged trees and talked to
them.

I adore cats and like to hug them.
I used to kiss my cat on top of the head
and hold conversations with her.

I am a adult that never outgrew the habit
of dunking my cookies in milk.

I sometimes dip my grilled cheese in
mustard.

I like to eat maraschino cherries straight
out of the jar.
I even drink the juice.

I like pickle juice.
It sometimes clears the passageways.

Water is my favorite drink.
I suck it down with relish.

I like gravy on my fries but not on my
mashed potatoes.

I collect teddy bears.
Over 140 bears grace my room.

I like Garfield the cat.
I always cut the comics out of the
newspapers.
I have many Garfield items.

I prefer Macintosh computers.
My ibook is my favorite possession.

I am obsessed with reading.
A visit to the library brings home twelve
books or more.

I like to paint my fingernails different
colors.
Over seventy colors of fingernail polish
are lined up inside my vanity.

I am crazy for leopard print.
Any article of clothing or item with
leopard spots I grab.

I go crazy for leather.
Even when it is not in fashion.
My old black leather jacket is my favorite
article of clothing.

I have a skirt that is neon green.
I do not care if you laugh.

One of my favorite shirts.
Is my rainbow striped tee shirt.
I have received compliments on it.

I am afraid of magnified mirrors.
I had a dream once that I looked into a
magnified mirror and my face was the
size of a house.

I pick up pennies off the sidewalk when
I see them.
I grew up poor and I think throwing away
pennies is a waste.

If you mock my choices or what I like.
It will not prevent me from liking myself
as a person.

I’m not strange.
I’m only different.
Is it a sin to be different?
