    I'm suffocating here

    amongst this urban sprawl

    drowning in the fumes

    spewing from the mall



    and the Walmart down the street

    is throwin' add campaigns at me

    I go there just to save a few dollars

    and the shit i get in return

    is churned from slavery.



    So I wear the makeup they give me

    to make the boys say that i'm pretty

    without it im nothing

    Yeah, thats what they tell me.

    gotta look like a super model

    if you wanna escape this ugly hell

    No, its not you,

    its just your face.



    Gotta drop those few extra pounds

    to fit in that one size down

    try to shrink us all till' were pygmies.

    Are we fuckable now?

    Are we small enough now?



    I guess its just life in the big city

    walkin like clones,

    down the damp dirty streets.

    Well please dont look at me

    I'm nothing noteworthy.

    I love the sarcastic attitude
    I agree with some of the things you said
    though, the presentation could have been better

    keep it up, you have lots of potential =)

    I like your poem.

    You are very aware of life around you for a 16 year old. Keep at it, don't ever take your eyes off of the core of truth when it gets too depressing/scary/cold, and you will develop into a strong artist.

    Most of us avoid art because the truth about the universe is scary. You'll have to learn to deal with that fear like you do any other.
