Shrouded wit,
transparent intelligence,
mere feeble minds.
We are the dense-
We are the shallow-
We are the ones,
you always see through.
Our steadfast beliefs,
result of cowardice,
and our lightweight heads.
You'll never see,
where true character lies.
Your tactless tongue,
and blatent misjudgement,
prove only this:
You are the dense-
You are the shallow-
You are the one,
we'll always see through.
Your presumption is astounding.

People all too often show predjudice like you have so well described.  It greatly angers me, for after all, how can you assume to judge anyone, whether a teen or anyone else, without first learning what they're about?  Poignant, bitter words here, Jenn, I liked it a lot.  Keep up the good work!

I have to admit, I feel like a candidate...
Is this because of that alley thread?  So much anger, I hope you realize I don't mean anything that I say in the alley personally... it's all just opinion and consideration.
I never intended it to sour our relationship...
And if this isn't about me, then no need to say who.... and if you need to talk to someone, just IM me...

Jenn, I LOVE THIS! It can be directed at so many people. The anger and hostility is simply fantastic. Always knew you had lots of anger in you, chicka. Good to see you really writing about it now.

Whoa! I can actually picture a person for this description. Once again, another fab piece, Jenn. Keep up the great work.

Great piece of work Jenn, I really enjoyed the read. The poem seemed very alive and full of anger, I like it. Keep up the great work

If I gave you $1 for every reply you might be rich, but looking at your post count I think not.

Wow, Jenn... this is an amazingly powerful poem.  Lots of emotions are running throughout the piece.  I love the ending and beginning.  The way you turned that around in your favor at the end was fantastic.

Wonderful work, Jenn.  I enjoy reading every one of your pieces.  You're a very talented writer, and this piece, especially, proves it.
