ode to the not-so-emo, emo-kid...

Nov 05, 2008 23:38

you constantly complain about your life
apparently it's not worth living some days
you want to leave school
you want to tell people how it is

but these are only wants
wants that will never be met
because you claim you can stand up for yourself, but you can't
it's so hard to not criticize you

i keep my mouth shut
even when i want my feelings to pour out
like the faucet that gets shut off so abruptly
and all it wants to do is release water...

you can "stand up for yourself" in your mind
yet no actions come into play
you suck up to him daily
yet you "despise" everything about him

decide which side you're on...
do you like what you're doing?
or do you detest it as you claim?
personally i think you crave the attention

a different kind of attention
not the attention your mother ALWAYS gave you (and still does)
but the attention you've never had before
SOCIAL attention

you can be social
although only under intoxication
i'm honestly sick of hearing this day-in and day-out
because everyone has their problems

i have even more on my plate than you do
but everything is about you at all times
we have the same work (and if anything i have more)
but it's always about all of the work that you have to do

why do you feel the need to portray that you're better than me?
because you think your problems are worse
and because you have everything a little better than me
but you still don't see it

continue to have life run for you
and thrown at you
for you won't see the beast of reality
it will hit you like a ton of bricks

maybe you should start listening to brand new
or grow out your hair
either way, until this happens
you won't be as emo as you always seem to be...

ODE to the NOT-SO-EMO, emo-kid...
