Micky's Poems

I Never Liked Teen Movies

I never liked teen movies
Especially when it's obvious.
The typical "believe in yourself" plot.
"The pressures of high school".
"The obvious romantic interest".
It's all the same; it blends together.

My sister was into that stuff;
I never was.
I lived it though
And hated every second.
And trust me when I say
That it's nothing glamorous.

Believing in yourself could only go
So far.
No one tells you about the asteroids
Hurling towards you,
With the force of a million horses,
As they grind your bones to dust.

Pressures increase every day,
Driving people to horrendous things
With society's pressure to succeed,
Sucking out any and all hope
For a brighter future,
Making us only see dim hope.

In a world driven by sex and hormones,
The romantic interest is covered
Under the ruse of a typical fuckboy,
But with many parasites in the shadows.
So if you want to find Prince Charming,
You'll have to open your legs first.

Being the main character,
The "outcast in a world of preps",
It'll take a lot of luck
For your movie to sell.
So consider this a warning:
Stay away from teen movies.
