Ever wish you were sometime you're not?
well of course you have! I have ALWAYS (and i know this sounds weird...) but ever since I was little I wanted to be goth... yeah yeah I know I know. But not like those, read the scary poems, listen to scary music type thing. Just the clothes. Well... maybe... I don't know... One day was was bad and believe it or not a wrote a poem about it! The angry came from a Chicken Soup story about these 3 girls that were goth, and whenever they would wear the clothing they would get dirty looks, and employees would treat them differently then when they came back in their jeans and t-shirts. I never really finished the poem, or gave it a name. But I will try to do such things for the purpose of putting it on here. Nevermind. No name.

I wish i could wear all the bracelets you do
The skirts, the shirts, the funky updo,
The fishnets on arms, the fishnets on legs,
The knee-high black lace-ups my parents would dread
Low-cut plaid jackets, a small red lip ring,
Chokers and rings and black metal things
I'll take the rude comments, the looks, the stares
The gawking, the whispers, and even the glares
I wish I could wear all the make up you do
The eyeliner, black lipstick, the earrings too
The dangling chains, ripped stockings and socks
Black nail polish on hands and dark red dyed locks
I don't want to fit in or blend in with the crowd
I don't want to be different, strange, or unproud

That's where I ended it, mostly 'cause I just stopped writing, and even now I don't know how to end it. I started reading about what it means to be Gothic. And i do feel like it's mean, (not like in a creepy way). Some guy, PreZ put this up
"Most goths become goths because they have been spurned by 'normal' society because the way they want to live their lives does not fit in with how most people are told to live theirs. Goths are free thinkers, people who do not accept the moral rules of society because they're told 'This is just how it is' or 'This is what God says!'. Rather goths tend to listen to what you have to say, and make up their own mind. This kind of free thinking and rejection of dogma earns only rejection in today's society."
and if you haven't been listening/reading. That's me.
