ZombieA Poem by MeganThey expect so much
The pictures reflect my mood so well.
Black and white. As soft as the silence in the night. Lonely, yet perfectly content with self-pity. Wishing for a bit of America's so called normality. Where it's nothing but smiles and sunny days. Backyard barbecues and swimming pools. Where the terrors can't reach them and the pretty, skinny girls in bathing suits. Drawn in and silent. Mad with self-loathing. Aspiring to be something more than another face to add to the collection of wannabes. Fading in and out of books. Wrapped in words that take away the day's grime and decay. Dreaming of something more than weed. Standing alone in a crowded room. Left to deal with a s****y attitude and nasty finger food. Dress stained with mascara and gin. Expensive lipstick that wont impress them. Or get him. To do a double take. It wont change. Smile for the camera so you don't disappoint. Their voices are nothing but noise.
