Her Name is MJ MAG

October 12, 2013
By Anonymous

MJ and i are tight,
says the clean-scrubbed high ponytail.

i know she's bad
says the boy next door, but
i only hang out with her on weekends.

MJ? you mean Mary?
everyone's close with Mary.

everywhere I look,
all I see is MJ.
she slithers into corners
and watches from the trees

bloodshot eyes,
she broke your heart.

everyone wants to be on MJ,

except
for
me.

This poem was inspired by and is dedicated to the many people at my school who have succumbed to peer pressure. It is also dedicated to anyone who is reading it. You don't need to jump on the bandwagon. I believe in you!
