I wrote this while listening to "The Anthem" by Good Charlotte and reading some posts! "Don't wanna be you"-Good Charlotte


listen to the uni
all in their simple glory
and i
the non
all in a rut as the song plays
no attention directed
the locker slams
its another loser
being shut in
like someone else i knew
a conformist walks by me
in the same old path
i want to scream
to them i direct a question
"Do you wanna be like me?"
they don't answer
except for a nod
so slight i hardly notice
i sigh and reply
"I never wanna be like you"*


*_Good Charlotte-The ANTHEM ( It's another loser anthem )

Morning mist clings to my face, and my soul opens up to you......

Well done. Us losers need to stand up against the majority! Would you care to join the ISPL (International Society Of Pathetic Losers)? I'm a fully registered member! And Good Charlotte do indeed kick ass. Good poem.
