Well, my poem, or at least my explanation, was sarcastic. Or, trying to be from the perspective of the people not myself, or the general message that teens like me are fed. Yeah, like I said. Harsh. That's what I mean by I haven't pinpointed the subject yet. I should really back off for a moment and try to write something lighter. Then maybe I could get my head around it. When you say there "are those who are just TOO much", what do you mean? And yeah, not giving in is the point. You see, this is why I like Green Day. Things are put so well....okay, back to the point. You should find your own identity, grab hold of it. Shock people. Do something that isn't expected. I mean....gah, this is so hard to articulate. For someone as unseasoned as myself, especially. Okay, I'm just going to do this.



This is a public service announcement, this is only a test
emergency evacuation protest
may impair your ability to operate machinery
can't quite tell just what it means to me
keep out of reach and children don't you talk to strangers
is it the cop or am I the one that's really dangerous
sanitation, expiration date, pushing everything
or shut up and be a victim of authority

Warning, live without warning
warning, live without warning

...

I wanna be the minority
I don't need your authority
Down with the moral majority
'Cause I wanna be the minority

I pledge allegiance to the underworld
One nation under dark
thereof which I stand alone
a face in the crowd
a song that gets the mold
without a doubt
singled out
the only way I knwo

I wanna be the minority
I don't need your authority
Down with the moral majority
'Cause I wanna be the minority

One light
One mind
Flashin' in the dark
blinded by the silence of a thousand broken hearts
for crying out loud
she screams unto me
a free for all
f*** 'em all
the only way I know

Step out of the line
Like a sheep runs from the herd
Marching out of time
To my own beat now
the only way I know



Sorry, but that's the only way that I know how to articulate it. Is it making any more or less sense now?
