*Notice: This is NOT from my point of view. This is a satirical piece only.*
I get discriminated against
because no one can understand
the endless pain of my aching heart
and the rage of my shadow-filled soul
when my mom won't let me
go to the mall on Friday night.
And I'm bisxeual, too.
I get harrassed so bad
ALL tHe tYmE
because I'm bi.
People call me
"that girl who likes girls"
and other stuff like that.
And it hurts me so bad,
deep down inside.
People just can't accept that
I'm not a conformist like them
because I'm too ugly for boys to want
and I don't have the guts to be a lesbian.
It makes me want to kill myself, sometimes.
But my boyfriend cheers me up
when I'm in the clutches
of the blackest depression.
He just quotes lyrics from our song
by My Chemical Romance
to make me feel better.
So I just write a bunch of poems
and submit them to
my school's literary magazine.
They're my innermost thoughts and feelings
about pain and love and bleeding things.
And razors. I write about razors a lot.
You wanna see my cuts?
This one's from when Jimmy left me for a day--
Shit, I think that's my mom!
I have to cover my wrist with my
fuzzy black AFI wristband.
My wristband is so hardcore.
The Nightmare Before Christmas
dictates my life
and wardrobe.
My pain is like that of
Kurt Cobain, the godfather of punk.
Listening to the White Stripes
makes me feel like an intellectual.
I can't wear anything not black
unless it's from Claire's.
Stuff for 5 year-old girls is so gawfic!
I think I'll keep my Ninja Turtles action figures
in my My Little Pony backpack.
Don't call me Britney!
My name is ShadowRaven MidnightMisstress,
how many times do I have to tell you, mom?!
I hate my family so much.
They, like, voted for that Bush-guy.
If I was anywhere near 18,
I wouldn't vote for him because
Billy Joe from Green Day says he's dumb.
He looks like a monkey;
how could he be a good president, anyway?
Have you ever heard of Cradle of Filth?
I listen to lots of underground
black metal like them.
I would've seen them at Ozzfest
if my mom had let me go.
I heard they'll be on Warped Tour!
I'm so br00tal
because I listen to Slipknot
and scare people by
walking around the mall in their t-shirts.
I'm a true punk, and a thrasher
because I listen to Sum-41.
Benji & Joel Madden are, lyke,
so so so so so so so so so so soooooooooooooooooooooooooo hawt!
This week, I'm sXe
but next week, I think I'll get wasted
because that's what all my really cool friends'
really, really cool friends do.
It's my life's dream to
drink Absinthe like Marilyn Manson.
How do you pronouce that band's name?
"Bow-house"?
Who's this "Lord Byron" guy?
Is he like Poe? I love Poe.
"To be, or not to be"...
that's Poe, right?
Joy Division?
Fall Out Boy covered them; lemme listen.
Eww, this is boring!
And way 2 depressing.
Why isn't this cool like The Cure?
Well, it's not like
that makes me a loser.
I'm only one if I wear a t-shirt that says so.
oh emm effing jee, I'm just glad
I'm not a posuer like Avril.
She's soooooo not pUnK.
Her spikey belt
isn't even from Hot Topic.
Author notes
This is a *humourous* piece, for anyone who might find this offensive or think that it's about me. It's really about all of the people I see around me that try to play into the "goth" or "metal" lifestyle but really have no idea what it's about at all. Just to keep that in mind...

I know some of the stuff because of my kids. I think you did a good job with the wannabe thing. I can still appreciate that. I
think it's a great job. Shancy. -
omg i freakin loved that so much. and of corse my fav part was the "How do you pronouce that band's name?
"Bow-house"?" that's just tooo great. maybe because i can't stand it when people pronouce it wrong...i dunno anyway that was easily one of the best i've ever read...to me anyway

Yay, you would made me giggle, that was great. And thanx for the comment <3

This was fucking hilarious, and some of the people who commented on it STILL didn't understand that you were making fun of posers. I love this!
-
LOL, half of this sounds like me. I like CMR, AFI, Sum-41, Greenday, The Nightmare Before Christmas and Marilyn Manson. On the other hand, I lOoOoOoOoOve Byron, Bauhaus, Joy DIvision, and Avril Lavigne. This is such a good description of a loooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooot of people. If only you knew how well u just illustrated half of the people I know.
-
BRILLIANT!
-
This is a great piece. Very funny. I think almost everyone has seen these people around. And if they claim they haven't they probably are one. Nice write and thanks for the comments.
-
Very interesting. I love your candidness and sense of yourself here. Don't be so hard on yourself and don't allow others to categorize you. You are many things: talented, beautiful, intelligent - and you should never let others put you down. Keep up the good work and always write your feelings out. It does wonders for your soul.
-
This is a great bit of sattire. It is sad that people have to live under labels and judgements. Sometimes it is better to laugh at our discomforts rather than to cry. Very funny in a odd sort of way but a great write just the same.

HILARIOUS!
LMAO! PERFECTLY FUNNY! -
If this is about you, I would say you have a lot of conflict between yourself and the world, or the character here does. I think cutting is unfortunate, but I have no concern about a person's sexuality. Much of the rest, I am not familiar.
Keep moving ahead and be who you choose to be, a good someone I hope.

did you read my story 'Dysentary Gary'?
i think u'd like that one,
i know what ur going through, i went through the same kinda things, the thing that got me through, that got me to stop hurting myself, was talking to other people that have gone through it, knowing that there were other people going through what i was going through, and probably worse.
from then i worked on changing how my mind works, by putting on a positive attitude to try an fool my mind
if you ever wanna talk just give me a holla
