Follow the Crowd
January 28, 2011
Orange face so out of place
Skin that fits no ethnic race
Blonde hair from a bottle
So unnaturally awful
Jeans so tight and low cut
The world can see that un-tanned butt
Face so dolled up and painted
Whatever beauty now looks tainted
Designer jeans, yet no personality
So, what’s your functionality?
Mind is rotted with reality TV
Of drunken losers you want to be
In a few years you’ll become one
Then in a few more, fun years are done
You’ll be broke, working at a drive thru
I’m glad I was my own person,
And didn’t follow you
© Emily H., Marshall, MI

Love it. You are an amazing writer!
This is about standing out and not following the crowd...especially when the path they lead, leads to destruction
