Uncool and Unashamed
Sometimes I still sleep with a stuffed animal
Just as a soundless companion to comfort me
Sometimes I drown my pancakes in maple syrup
And drink from the bottle, no thought of diabetes
Sometimes I still listen to Disney music
It still speaks to my heart timelessly
Sometimes I catch myself singing Justin Bieber
Instead of my usual rock n roll head banging
Sometimes I burst out laughing for no reason
Unable to contain myself from looking insane
Sometimes I talk myself into an awkward place
And dig the hole deeper trying to explain
Sometimes I get distracted by baby animals
Like a child infatuated by fuzzy adorableness
Sometimes I just put out down my phone
And turn away from all the world's duress
Sometimes I cry over stupid little things
And laugh at things that aren't funny
Sometimes I pretend to be a grown hardass
But I am lovingly, childishly, honestly me

Oh there you go, reeling me in with yet another fine piece of introspective verse. I can relate from another perspective, but no Bieber tunes have ever entered my ears, lol. My secret songstress is Katy Perry, lol... Roarrrr, Lmao!!!
At least you have stuffed animals, all I got is my spare pillow. Ugh! JJ

That song is so annoying lol but I like her other songs:) I think everyone has their guilty pleasure music artist that kinda clashes with their other tastes. I like everything from death metal, to country, to oldies, to pop, to rock n roll... Etc etc.
Thanks for your comment!:)

Lol, before Katy it was Avril Lavigne singing Complicated. When I was a kid it was the Partridge Family. Lol... But my musical heart belongs to the Beatles. I love lots of bands and styles of music, especially 60's music.

Self-acceptance is a wonderful and comforting thing... many people never come to that realization. Lots of *uniques in your portrait up there, all good in their own way... well, 'cept for maybe Bieber. :)

Lol I went through an "omg I wanna be mrs Bieber" phase when I was 12, then I went through an "ugh justin Bieber is stupid" phase just because it wasn't "cool" to like his music... Now I'm like fuck it I like what I like... I have more diverse music tastes than when I was 12, though.
Thanks for dropping by, man!
