Ancestry

i've always made a career of different

don't want to be put in a pigeon hole
convenient label
to be taken out and examined
at your leisure

crazyloudgirlwon'tshutupdoesn'tknowwhentostop

glowering in a corner, dark eyes dark brows
not a word, a whisper
basket case in black

yep, that's me
not a goth not a surfie chick
not a flaky-pot-head-free-spirit in gypsy dishcloth

georgie porgie pudding pie kissed the girls and made them cry
kissed a girl and kissed a guy break my heart and hope to die

hungarian heritage,
british background
	
sorry, try again
what's in a name? this is not me
	
this is not my history
this is not my name
this is not the colour of my hair
