Anti eyeliner
and bulging hip bones,
sick of the pop punk drama
that surrounds my stereo speakers.
Cigarettes have left a bad after taste
in my mouth,
so I've turned to the wonderful
taste of sugar coated lies and video
tapes.
Scars that tell stories
of how my dog died
a tragic death,
and then the blood ran down my thigh,
make me sing a song
to my mirror.
Lesbianism has become cool
again, and so apparently
as becoming a surgeon
because strictly speaking
why toy with someone's
emotions?
I write poetry
because protests
about anti alien
attacks on pluto
aren't cool anymore.
Now where the fuck is my eyeliner??
Author notes
I realize that this poem might not make me have anymore friends, but the scene has rapidly changed and it's become pathetic.
Please tell me what you think

-
this is a good poem keep it up
-
I love this!
I agree totally wiv you,
-
It is extreme and i like it! I mean i am a teenager so i know i bitch about lots of stupid stuff but still i like that its opinionated and not sugarcoated so it doesnt hurt anyones feelings. Its raw and its good. Though to some extent some kids do have real reasons for being depressed but for the ones that do it to be "popular" this is a kick in their asses.
-
-
Kids do have a reason to be depressed and as a kid with bi polar disorder i totally know...but this was directed towards the wanna be emo bullshit crap.
-
-
I like it.
Very opinionated.
Very extreme.
But that's what made me like it.
I don't agree with the lesbianism reference.
But to an extent, I can even agree there.

I don't agree with the lesbian reference either, due to be being half lesbian, but it's true. Oh well I suppose. Thanks for the comment.

i'm a bit confused
but thats ok. i guess, right? -
Scene kids eventually grow up and see what the sad/scary/stressed/sucky parts of life are all about (unless they are particularly insistent about self harm / suicide / drugs / whatever). Makes the things I bitched about in high school seem a little bogus. Anyway, this poem puts it all in perfect context & I am starry eyed at the result. Lovely!
-
gud work!
-
everything you said was true,and if anybody is offended by it,it's because the truth hurts.it's ridiculous how being bisexual or being "depressed" makes you cool in a social standpoint,and it is pathetic.your poem should be considered an anthem.
-
Bravo!

i agree with lowercase prelude's comment. not only was your poem well-written, but the point is well-taken. one can struggle with depression without defining yourself- not to mention your fashion sense- on its terms. the emos are essentially the depressed and the outcasts, who identify themselves to each other by their clothing, and provide the bitter comfort of helping each other find solidarity in depression and outsiderness. me? i think they'd be better off to go through high school alone, and actually seeking a few intelligent and cheerful friends, and then go on to college with a worldview that doesn't glorify communion in angst
-
although i don't agree that 'emo' exists anymore, i see your point. good write. thanks for entering
-
well said
it is sad how the lows of humanity have become such a "popular" thing
-
-
It's true you know! and i've gotten so many teeny boppers angry because I pointed out that it's ridiculous.
-
-
well they'll live
just because they aren't "cool" to everyone, doesn't mean it's the end of the world
you can only be a scene kid for so long

-
well fucking said!!!
-
Ehhh...
speeching from a fellow writers veiw the poem was nice, and the way it was written I can tell you really are anti-emo because it had a underlying sense of hate, but from a PERSONAL veiw i didn't like the way you bashes "emos", I don't think there is anything wrong with them...but that is my opinion and you have yours. Nice write, just not a great topic. -
-
Speaking from the writers standpoint and from the point of an adult who has seen what the emo scene has become I'm going to answer you as honestly as possible.
It's ok to have emotions and express them in a healthy manner. However glorifying sadness/cutting and etc that comes with the emo scene is rather pathetic and sad. I didn't bash emos I bashed the scene itself.

Freakin Coooll
Funny and Bitchy, I love it!!! Write on!!!
-
Right on!
I like it...I'm sick of all the emo phoney baloney crap...

Very nice... Maybe one day, they'll all drown in their self-inflicted wounds of "pAiN && LuV", and someone will wipe these idiots right off the map. Bravo!

Love it
I really love this poem.
People really do need to be themselves
keep up the great writing. -
I love this (:
It makes me want to climb on my roof
and scream "BE YOURSELF, NOT THE PERSON
STANDING NEXT TO YOU!!" Kudos to you!
-
Hallelujah.
I.love.you. LOL.
No really though,
I could not agree more!
I will unite with all the people who's heads are on straight, and facing forward.
Whatever happened to, "Take responsibility, this is your life, take control of it, grow, mature, grow...UP?!?!?" NO..... no, we can't do that. Growing up and being mature is forbidden! Forbidden I say! Wallow in self-pity and make life all about the HAIR and EYELINER. Yep, that's totally the "way to go".
Haha,
Really, sister, couldn't agree with you more on this one.
Pathetic, it truly is.

haha, i mean no offense to you, but your display picture looks like Number 6 from the new Battlestar Galactica.
haha, i'm such a dork. -
Thank you!! I'm glad someone else agrees with me!!!!! and I luff you too! ha ha ha

This poem is so cool, it's a marvelous rant and I like that it's in blue, too.
-
Nice.

Great work. -
