    I enjoyed the entire poem so much, but I cannot be the only one who just fell in love with the way she said "like mine" at the end.

    This is perfect. A person I used to know was so vanilla and every time I was going to do something "not normal" he'd always have something to say. This picked me right up

  • @QueerCripple
    @QueerCripple 7 ปีที่แล้ว +73

    I love Rachael, I relate with her so much. I've always been... too energetic, too much pink, too chatty, too weird, too much black, too skinny, too quiet, too tired, too sad, too troubled, too many bad choices, too drunk, too fat, too happy, too hyper, too chatty........ too much. I've done all and seen all I was led to think I should, and got kicked every step. You will never catch me in a polo shirt... tucked in. More likely a skull and flower printed, lace trimmed Hot Topic dress and 7 inch platform boots... and I never wear hair bands for function, I prefer ones that make me look like there are flowers in my hair. I love Rachel and her attitude because I'm right there, knowing I am weird and too much and loooooving it! And to the ex boyfriends who called me psycho bitch... you're just not enough.

      +Corey Pettit Interesting perspective. I interpreted it that she wished him to have a daughter who was "too intense" like her.

    • @fattypajamas123
      @fattypajamas123 9 ปีที่แล้ว +25

      I heard it as wishing him a daughter resembling her, which would cause him to constantly face the regret of not being with her and instead choosing the mundane life. Awesome poem!

    I still enjoy this as much as I did years ago, but nowadays I would give so much to have a life of Wednesday mornings filled with beige and oatmeal and polo shirts. I still find the poem beautiful, but it hits different now when color in my life is less often a party and more often a warning sign. No shade to people who enjoy excitement, but for me personally I would actually consider it an accomplishment to be able to settle right now.

Just to paint a full picture for you, I live in Florida,my school is set up like a college campus so I have to walk out of one building to get to another class. Some of them are all the way on the other side of the campus! I have to wear polo shirt tucked in...IN THE WORST CONDITIONS POSSIBLE!
