Narcissistic Society

perfect girl
perfect world
so unhappy
hide yourself
plastic smile
you're a mask
scared to break
the mold at last
daddy touches
friends aren't there
do your makeup
fix your hair
mommy's blind
"everything's fine"
if only she knew
you're always lying
save yourself
don't be like them
don't be scared
they don't love you

Awesome poem!  I agree with Alwye.  This work is very powerful.  Society often tries to cover up and hide what is.  I feel that people place a mask over themselves to hide who they really are to fit in the society that lives in the shadow of something it isn’t.  Anyway, Great work...  hope to read some more in the future. Welcome to our family.

Reguards,

Jer

I'm glad you feel that way! Thanks a lot and believe me I have books full of poetry. I just never thought people would actually be interested in reading my poetry.

I live in the Bronx, but I love to hang out in Manhattan. I have a couple of friends that live in Brooklyn, around Brighton Beach. If you ever feel like chatting, email me!
