All Wrapped Up
May 12, 2014
Their “popularity” seeps
Out into the room,
Empty words
Cackling like a broken record
Empty words
For Empty hearts
Perfect imperfections
The latest gossip
Slithers off their tongues
Insecurities blatant
One mentions
Their messed up weekend
“Weee were SO trashed”
Turn up
Sad teens
With Happy faces
Faces caked in make up
Make up for the life they made up
Name brands like wrapping paper
Trying to hold it all together
A widened lens, a narrow focus
How awful it must be
to be popular
