Average

I'm always in between,

In people's minds.

Too smart for everyone,

except the people I'm not smart enough for

To girly,

just because I'm a girl,

but not girly enough because I don't wear make-up and go to all the sleepovers

Not as cool as anyone,

except the people who I don't like to hang out with

More athletic,

just not enough that I'm called athletic

In people's minds

    We'll lie on the floor 

    You're wearing the yellow hat I gave you

    I'm wearing pajamas

    We'll facetime and pretend 

    We're not just like them 

    We're not 

    Are we 

  • Fashionably Early

    Everyone could make excuses

    for when the bears showed up late

    to the party

    fashionably late

    they called it

    but when the bears came early

    no one

    could explain the questions

    away.

    we talk about climate change and ski racing

    they'll talk about what they're supposed to

    we'll talk about the world's problems and what to do
