The I don't want to be "In- Crowd"
The I Don’t want to be “In Crowd”
Designer clothes,
Striking pose
Lips red as a rose.
Long lashes,
camera flashes.
Striking matches.
Cigarette burns,
alcohol yearns.
Menacing glances
intimidating stances
no second chances
and provocative dances.
Staying out late
overnight dates
no worrying about your fate
with an unknown mate
an increase of the birth rate.
Love becomes hate.
Fear of the scale obsessing about your weight.
Is that nose a flaw or just a passed down trait?
You hate the mirror.
Can your reflection be clearer?
Who are you?
Is your self image true?
You walk around proud.
You are the I don’t want to be “in crowd.”
