I’m not Zooey Deschanel

not Maggie Gyllenhall

not a suicide girl at all.

No American Noir movie career

no knowledge of Veganism or prescription drugs

my roommate cut herself in college, not me

I’m not the one with a TV show

following an emotional Floozy idiot around Los Angeles

I’m not the one who steals your heart from the screen

Not the masochist Secretary

I grew  alongside the orange groves

always living in a lonely world

You call me a Zooey

You call me a Maggie

I’m not a suicide girl at all.

You say I break your heart

when I didn’t even know it was open

and that’s what makes me a Zooey?

Not at all

Not at all.
