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.

I love this and tv can definitly be an inspiration. Society lies to strip away who a person is and make them who they want them to be. U ca[ptured this perfectly. Awesome write!

[Andrew Vaughn]

This is unfortunately very realistic and sad.
People having to craft their souls to an "acceptable" standard and too afraid and too stupid to be different or God forbid, who they are.
Did make me smirk a few times though.

Well done.

Thought provoking, current and "impactful". some great musings over MTV, slimming tea commercials and rated 13 soft porn seen in radiation- infusing LCDs.

A harsh reality of the life of young people nowadays. Good work.

This is, sadly, a very accurate portrayal of what society sees as cool or attractive or acceptable. They tell you to be yourself then try to shove their own agenda down your throat... a really thoughtful piece.

It's actually a great poem to show how society looks like on the outside and what expect you to be (fake) but what's really happening inside everyone's home is different, no one knows the real truce behind everyone's door.
