My friend Laura sent me this funny poem. This guy named Bradley Hathaway.
It's so funny.
I am hardcore
I will windmill kick you in the face
everybody back up
make a circle
let's destroy this place
the lights are low
and I'm about to go off
here comes the breakdown
KARATE CHOP
raise up your arms
make an X if you're down
me and my crew
we own this stinking town
watch out for my fists
your face, it will kiss
on purpose
I'm tough and I'm ticked
I don't slow dance
I don't salsa dance
forget the tango
I don't slam dance, you idiot
I dance hardcore
on the floor
I'm the man you've never seen before
when the drummer yells "GO!"
it's my time to blow
and in between songs
I yell at the band
because I don't what they have to say
I'm not here to learn anything anyway
I'm here to dance
in the zone in a trance
I don't smoke cigarettes
but if she's willing
i'll drop my pants
premiscuous I am
but I'm vegan
I don't eat ham or any of that stuff
because it's bad for you, right?
save the animals, forget the sweatshop scandals
I do not shop at hottopic
I am not mallxcoreeee
I am hardcore.
Madball, Hatebreed, Throwdown, Terror
I own all their records
on colored vinyl
limited edition
and hand numbered
but you won't see me asking for no autograph
I aint looking like no fool
I ain't no pop culture tool
if they ain't screamin, I ain't listenin
if they ain't got a blast beat I ain't tappin my feet
I eat emo pansies for breakfast
and give their little t-shirts to my little sister
so cry about it, you messenger bag purse carrying whatever
i wear girl pants
but I'm homophobic
yet the way I'm always huggin on my home boys
you sure wouldn't know it
I've had my ears stretched an inch
since back in 96
somebody told me hardcore was a place to share what you believe
but I didn't what that dude said
so I flipped him off
and told him to leave
I'm mad at society
because my parents won't buy me a new computer
even though I asked politely
my playstation 2 is broken
but, my X-Box works
when that breaks though
soemthing will hit the fan
and I'll express myself with rage
and anger
just like a man
cause that's how it's done right?
you get mad and start a fight, right?
I think I may, I think I might
take my insecurites out on that punk in the pit tonight
cause really, I am just insecure
more than that
I'm kinda scared and I'm hurting inside
and I don't know how to deal with it
I don't know what being a man means
I thought acting tough was the way to go
but now that I think about it
I'm emo.
