Like Everyone Else

No one cares if you begin to cry, or want to frown.
They wouldn't save you if you began to drown.
People still hate you when you go into town
But if you're beautiful that'd all turn around.

 

They love you if you're liike a movie star,
But shun you if you go a pound too far.
All the best  are "hot" and have nice cars,
And if you're "ugly" you get left under the tar.

 

Everyone's like this-no matter how they deny,
They judge and ridicule everything under the sky.
Live as moochers and fakes every day that goes by,
To have thoughts of their own, they'd never dare try.

 

Ones who aren't superior to them get pushed away.
So, once again, it's by themselves they have to play.
They try to be "cool" too, but get thown under the tray.
The ones who are "perfect"  still seem to get their way.

 

Once somebody buys the right clothes, they're elate.
Throw on something designer and suddenly they're great.
But dear, if you can't afford it than you're a mistake,.
If you don't have what's "in", then you're just too late.

 

If a model's wearing it, then everyone else will too.

But  if you have do that, then you must be a fool.

Once you see it on Her than your mind is drawn.
You do it to be something, yet you act as a pawn.

FANTASTIC!

I seriously think I'm madly in love with you.

This is totally true. A candid view of the world lying in fron't of us. It's sad, isn't it? Sad that it's actually true. We're just all pawns being played with the hands of all thats evil. Taking the worse, being killed off first. It has a real deep meaning.

AND-- I almost forgot to say-- is the poem deliberitly set to look like a curvacious body. Cause that's what it looks like! If it is...then I totally win.

Ps-again-..I love Twilight too. And I love chess, but I only believe it should be played against miserable, masochistic/sadistic demons with the cure for turning into a wearwolf.

:D

i love this because it is so true! i like how it ends with the pawn reference, in reality dressing to be cool is being just so. perfectly planned out. :] good job.
