I'm Tired of Labels (A well thought-out poem)

By your Dutchess harleyxqueen.

I'm tired of the labels. I'm tired of it all.
Emo, Goth, Prep.
They can all fuck off.

They try too hard to fit in.
They try too hard to be thin.
They try too hard to pass it off.
But you don't get anything out of it, after all.

"Hey look at me! I'm a freaking prep!"
No the fuck you're not. You're a lunatic.
"Hey guys look here! I'm a scene kid!"
You may be that but you look like a freak kid.

Everywhere I fucking go, traveling to-and-fro
I hear is labels being tossed around
they're being juggled by a clown.

Since when did being yourself ever stop being cool?
They buy all these clothing to wear to school.
Then look at their friends and laugh
they all wore the same thing to class.

You can be yourself, you know.
You don't have to label yourself, you know.
Or maybe you do, I don't know.
So now I'm pacing the room to-and-fro
Trying to know how this is going to go.

So I go to the mall and invite some friends
of the other tasks and errands.
We shop till we drop and our wallets pop
then we walk through town and everyone look at us alot.

Then when I get home I look in the mirror
I started to see what I've became.
Nothing has changed, we all looked the same.
But if I don't do it
will look at me like I'm deranged.

Maybe that's how fashion got it's name.
Because inside we all play the poser game.
Or maybe not, I don't know.
I'm still passing the room to-and-fro.

A/N:
I didn't write this to bash different fashion scenes, I wrote this to bash the people who are always saying "IM [insert fad here]!!!!111oneoneonexDDDINVADERZIMFOLYFE111!!!"
Okay, maybe that was an over-exaggeration but yeah you get the point.

Okay, this isn't a poem, it's prose.
It's not even freeverse, it's you bitching about labels.
I understand your point, but it's not poetry.

this is awesome!! you're really good!!
but i think that it could be turned around, too; some people try too hard to be different so people will notice them.

i put the second line of the last stanza thing (i'm no poet lol) as my pm on msn(:

you tell it like it is girl! Who says you have to live your life by a label?
Surely people respect you more for daing to b different. all these labels do is try to prove a point to be different, but how can they do that, when there about a million other people wearing the same thing and doing the same thing! anyway im rambling awesome poem by the way x

yeah i get what your saying

wen u judge someone by that kind of stuff all ur getting is that "theyre ______ [prep,emo,goth, scene, jock, etc]"
but yeah that doesn't really tell u anything about themmm tho

r they nice? mean? funny? serious? do they have a good family? any hobbies?

labels really tell u hardly anything about someone...

Most people actually don't fuss over what they wear, it's more the little stuff they fuss about that no-one ever notices. I know i fuss with my hair a bit, (Yes, i'm a guy) but people mess around with makeup, hairstyles, and even deodorant way to much. Still, the just of your poem is truer than most people realize.
