Follow & Fit In

Follow & Fit In

A Poem by Victoria Harlequin
"

Conformity is the key.

"

Dry kisses and gyrating hips

Alternating lights and groping hands

She wishes that she could be a part of it

But that's not where she belongs

Her icy blue eyes screamed death

Scaring away any who were curious

Her waist length white hair whipped about

Blinding the eyes of her admirers

Thin pale lips and a frail body

Made her prone to her peers

Sweat and heavy breathing

Shouting and spilling drinks

This is not her 'scene'

And yet, she won't leave

Not unless everyone else does

Why risk being different when you can fit in?

A commotion caught her eyes

People were running outside

She wondered where they were going

One.. two.. five.. twenty people

Jumping over a cliff laughing with happiness

It didn't seem right . . .

But, why risk being different when you can fit in?

This really hits close to home...to a lot of people I bet...
Sometimes the changing styles and colours can seem 'overdone' but in this case I think it really suits the piece. This reminds me of the old expression that mothers always say, "If everyone else jumped off a cliff, would you do it too?"

This was really good. I love the formatting you did. I dont really understand what its about but I just love the word choice you picked and the imagery you did. Great Job
