I Don’t Read A Lot of Books

A poem of reflection following heartbreak. The irony is that months later all I do is read. So much has changed, yet I am still me. Loving every moment of it.

I will never be the girl who reads all the books

But I read all the people

I will seldom be the girl who tells you how I feel

But I feel a lot of feelings

I will rarely be the girl who stands still at a concert…or at the grocery store

But I understand why other people chose to

I will sparingly be the girl who is followed by a cloud

Because I know the sunshine is so much warmer

I will most likely be the girl who wants to leave the party last

But if you want to leave, we can

I will sometimes be the girl who runs away when I get hurt

But I always come back willing to listen

I will scarcely be the girl to cry when someone asks me how I am doing

But I will cry in the car when Taylor Swift sings about when the morning comes

I will frequently be the girl to ask a lot of questions

But I am also the one to answer yours

I will often be the girl who struggles to understand what you are going through

But I will always be ready to make you laugh when you need it

I will probably be the girl to change the plans

But I always make sure everyone is having fun

I will not very often be the girl who sings all the right notes

But I wont stop singing for the entirety of the car ride

I will semioccasionally be the girl who “forgets” to text you back

But it’s because I need time to think

I will never be the girl who reads a lot of books

But I will always be the girl ready to learn

I may not be every girl in the world

But I am enough for me
