An Original Poem

I'm not original
I never was original
You might think I'm different
But I'm just conventional
In a way you're not used to
That doesn't make me original.

Does this hair make me pretty?
Does it make you uncomfortable?
I hope it makes you nervous,
'Cause I don't want you to talk to me
That's not original
It's the same as everybody.

Maybe I am traumatized,
Or maybe I'm just whining
I feel like I'm gonna cry
God I hope it starts raining.

I want to be original
I want people to look at me and say,
"God I want to be like them,
They're just so inspiring."

I just want to be myself,
But I don't know who "myself" is.
I want to be a superstar
I want to be nobody.
