“Nightmare Hippie Girl”*

Hippie Girl
with bright green eyes
and a body like a waif.

Oh so smart,
above everyone else.
Too good for those
with differing opinions.

Uses those around her,
but will never admit it.
Look out for those who may try to use her.

Reads Gandhi, and Plato
Dante and Thomas
God forbid someone
read for entertainment.

She listens to her music
and unless like hers,
everyone else’s choices
are “gay”.

She knows how everyone feels,
and she can relate to everyone else’s problems,
but no one could ever fathom
how hard her life has been.

Hippie girl
who knows it all,
who’s better that everyone.
No wonder you’re alone.
