Society

Being expected to look your best,
Being expected to be like the rest,
Being afraid of being uncool,
Being afraid of looking like a fool.
It's lie after lie from the society.
It's not all what it's cracked up to be.
So go ahead and take the dive;
Let them know you're still alive.
Go ahead and play their game;
Let them know you're one they cannot tame.
Don't believe in the society.
Don't let them erase your personality.
Don't let them steal your past,
It's all you have, so make it last.

mmm i love it! Nice to see a nice structured poem every once in a while... all the ones I/my friends write are freeform... i think i'll post my latest one actually *posts*
I like it, very truthful

Mmf. You see so many messages about peer pressure these days. But it's a bit different when it comes from someone who's actually in the influence of high school peer pressure.
And it goes deeper than that, doesn't it? Something about culture.

Thanks! I have other poems I may post some time.

lmao, sounds like a rap along the lines of Cop Killer, by Body Count.

The only good Cop Killer is by Jack Thomson.

lmao, "Cop killa! Betta you than me! Cop killa! I know yo family's screamin'! Cop killa! You know tonight we get even! Cop killa! Police brutality!".
