We live, we love,
we laugh, we cry,
we will all one day
grow old and die.

Some are scared,
others embrace
the challenge,
and join the race.

Times are changing
and we try to keep up,
words like whats up,
turn into just "sup?"

People are cruel,
people are mean,
making fun of others
just because they aren't lean.

Looks are not everything
but that's not how it seems
your getting dissed
if your not in the right jeans.

But one day they will wake up
and maybe they'll realize
that a life is well wasted
when it's built on lies.


The author's comments:
I wrote this poem because I live in a small town, and I am so used to seeing people getting made fun of. I have talked to my dad about this and his reason is "It's just small town politics." That's ridiculous. It shouldn't be this way.

I live in a small place too so I can easily relate. Some people have nothing better to do. Very relatable poem. And love your poem structure and word placing. It's really interesting!

&quot;It&#039;s a saying they have, that a man has a false heart in his mouth for the world to see, another in his breast to show to his special friends and his family, and the real one, the true one, the secret one, which is never known to anyone except to himself alone, hidden only God knows where.&quot;<br /> -James Clavell, &quot;Shogun&quot;

Thank you. Thank you very much for writing this. Makes a perfect statement. Could you read my poem "A Poem from Planet Mars"? Thanks.

oh my gosh! thank you! someone finally sees what i see! it's so true that popularity all depends on what clothes you wear or where you shop. that's not what popularity is. popularity is having a lot of friends and i thought i was the only one who realized this. but obviously not. love this poem (:
