Gothic?


We were shopping the other day
It was the first time we’d been together in a long time
I felt uneasy, not sure of how things would turn out
We had grown apart for a reason, of that I was sure


You hadn’t seemed to change much
All the way to the mall you ranted about everyone that you could
You wanted to know if I thought you should ask someone out or not
All you did was remind of my lacking social life and how I’d always be alone

In the make up department I was looking for black fingernail polish
You turned around in your prepish clothes and asked if I was going gothic on you
I raised an eye brow, but turned my back on you while looking at all the different colors
I said “No, it’s just the one color I don’t have.” But I was thinking “What if I was?”


While walking through the mall reminiscing of old times someone caught our eye
He had a Mohawk and was dressed in black.
You said, “He’s so cute, why did he do that to himself?”
I said, “I think he looks awesome, not to mention hot!”


This wasn’t the only person you criticized that day
I had to restrain myself from yelling at you many a time
While deep inside I wanted to cry… because you were laughing about the real me
I wondered why you teased and judged so many people who dared to be different


On the way home I struggled with accepting our differences
While you went on about the date you were going on tomorrow
I started to wonder if you’d ever grow up and start to think for yourself
I pondered if being alone made you think more clearly, less media like


All the way home I was lost in thought; nodding and commenting when necessary
We said good bye and I wished that we could still have that childish friendship
It had been so comforting, having a best friend… but I realized that I have to move on
I’d rather be considered gothic, than a media driven robot

I'd like to thank all my new readers. Ohh and I can't forget all those who have been reading them from the start. I hope you all still like my poems. I am sorry that they tend to be a bit dark. Well I'm a bit busy right now so I'll update us soon as I can. Keep telling me what you think!
