IM A FAKE

DO YOU ACCEPT ME NOW?

I have beach blonde hair and blue eyed contacts

DO YOU LOOK AT ME NOW?

I dropped 9 sizes and you can see my bones  

COULD YOU STILL LOVE ME NOW?

I’m 16 and pregnant

DO YOU THINK IM COOL NOW?

I’m faking a jersey accent and a fake tan 

CAN WE BE FRIENDS NOW?

I smoke

DO YOU FEEL BETTER NOW?

Making fun of someone with no money?

DO YOU LIKE ME NOW?

I’ve become what society wanted

Author's Note

I was watching TV and thought this.

I hope you're not really pregnant XD
There's a girl in my class who fits this description perfectly. She's always creating some kind of dramas to get attention, and it's really annoying. She gets drunk and goes to school, and then cries about something, so everyone pities her. But I'm like: "B***h, please. You wouldn't get drunk and f**k with guys while your child is staying at home with your mother if it wasn't easy for you. Stfu."
Anyways, soicety sure does have a weird understanding of the word "cool".
Good poem, it made me think a lot.

Some people are so shallow, and effectively fake! So many young people are easily swayed by peer pressure, rather than having the courage to be their own person and find their own personality. Quite sad really. A thought-provoking poem.

In New York, the crime charged for a fake id in new york is typically Criminal Possession of a Forged Instrument in the Second Degree, PL 170.25, a class D felony, which is punishable by up to 7 years in state prison. Counterfeit IDs sold through the most popular online platforms will all return as valid when scanned. The majority of ID scanners used today rely solely on these tests alone, most fake IDs in circulation are passing as true when scanned.

What does it take to be "real"? THe costs run pretty high no matter where you are, no matter whom you are. Feeling afraid has no time or age limit. Anyone can be right... but how many times can a person accept their "wrongness" especially when they feel they really are "right" inside?

Perceptions are who we are until we aren't.

This is a big issue today. Young teens try to fit in all wrong. Hang out with people who accept you for who you are. Society didn't change for you. Don't change for it. People who judge? Let them. People who make you want to get thin? F@ck them. People who get pregnant at 16 need our support. And who says bleached hair and blue eyes are the norm of an attractive girl? I love my hair. It's pink, purple, and blue. I have black eyes. I'd like to think diversity is what is most attractive. Thanks SOOOOOOOO much for sharing. I guess I have a lot to say about this. Skinny bimbo-chic types destroy young girls today. They are NOT attractive.

the cult-of-personality today.. is fashion and doing what everyone wants us to do.. this is simple, clean cut..well formatted, minus the bolds.. not to be harsh.. simplify the text as well as you have simplified the purpose.. and i would say you have a polished Gem...
