Get A Mind

by charley - Pisces

I often wondered why they look at me
but they have to look at me
to see just exactly how 
they are supposed to be.

She looks upon my nameless tank top
and my plain jane jeans
and sees that I am shameless
aand she wonders what that means.

Relating to her friend's lives, as they occur
she's got no personality
She doesn't know how to be her,
so instead she turns into me.

It's another superficial ploy
to look like she knows what's going on
just to cheat another friend to
cheat yet another boy.

They look at her in admiration
looking for their confirmation
of the brand name nailpolish
named unique they just
bought on vacation.

And they think that the way the snow falls
on her eyelashes is the coolest thing they've
ever seen
but if I see one more little girl wearing 
Tommy jeans,
I don't wanna be mean...
but I think I'm gonna scream.

This year classic is trendy
and looking comfortable is more spendy
than your campy ugly prom dress.

Then you wonder why I laugh
when you look at me.
And I wonder if you know that my look
is a result of me not having a buck fifty
to do my laundry.

Reason for writing:

    these chics were looking at me in the parking lot of a friends apartment building, and I made a face and walked back inside.  the next day they had on basically the same thing as i had on yesterday.  it pissed me off, because here i am, being myself, wearing whatever the hell didn't smell like shit, and they think that I am making a statement for all of women-kind.  so they say, hey, yeah, that's cool.  no, it was fucking ugly, you morons, and if you had half a brain cell, you'd be able to figure  that out by yourself, without someone like me tellling you!  I hate little wannabe, got no brain, can't think to save my own ass, never had an original thought in my life, little freaky deaky people.

ok, I'm done.
