Most people by now have heard the absolute bop that is "Most Girls" where it encourages women to stand up for each other because they're all amazing and unique. However, in the video it was from the perspective of a guy she was dating saying she wasn't like most girls. I found it unique because most today try so hard to distance themselves from others of their gender out of fear of stereotyping when just like in her song we are all awesome and talented. This is a poem I wrote on that.

"I'm not like most girls"

"Well maybe you shouldn't assume me to be other guys"

When did we get to the point that being like others was so wrong?

We try so hard to say how we stand out

Not realizing that there are countless others who say the same for so long

What exactly are we trying to get away from?

What do we feel the urge to be better than?

When together we say we need to join forces

But when away, we say we are "better than"

There are guys out there with talent

Talent I wish to learn

I know guys out there with a better figure

A figure I hope to earn

There are girls that see each other

And say

"I wish I could be like her"

Or they get jealous and hide it because well

"I don't want to be ranked under"

We all have our own quirks

Our own strengths

Our own abilities

And we also might do things

That may not be correct to you

They may not be correct to be

I just know I'm trying to be the best that I can be

And if most guys can say that's what they want

I aspire to be like them

Because some might see what I can do

And wish that they were like me

I may not have the exact same goals as most guys around

Girls may not have the same wishes as others may have found

But most of us have something or someone that we want

Cause we're all just lost souls acting like we have something to flaunt

I don't mind being the majority when the majority feel like a minority

We all want to be happy even if it's not the same way
