Typical Teenage Girl

I just realized
as I waited for that yellow bus
I'm such a typical teenage girl.

I try to be different
I know I'm individual
but in some things
I'm still just a typical teenage girl.

Haven't seen that Someone all semester
beyond brief glances in the hall
I can't read people, never could.
What does he think of me?
Does he just see me as that typical teenage girl?

Why'd I have to have this silly little crush?
I don't know what he thinks of me.
Teen angst rushes in when I admit,
"I like him, does he feel the same?"
I don't know if I even want a boyfriend.
I'm just a typical teenage girl.

I'm a self-identified nerd
it makes it easier to be happy
I like who I am most of the time
but sometimes it's in doubt.
So many things I have to excel in
pressure from all sides. Yeah I'm OCD.
Just that typical teenage girl.

But for a moment that all goes away.
For the first time in weeks he talked to me.
I'm waiting for my ride, the smelly yellow monster
when I felt a tap on my back
and everything  else I have is second to this conversation
which flows so naturally, only barely stilted.
And when it ends, I smile and smile.
I'm just a typical teenage girl.
