Dude, look at me! (A teen rant)
Dude, look at me!
And yes I just said dude.
Stop trying
Just stop viewing me
In what I should be
In how you think...
I should be
Cause obviously I just don’t care
Yeah I wear chains
I like black
My music screams
Deal with that
Call me whatever you want
I heard it all
But don’t get me wrong
There is a limit
To the names you may refer to me as
I’m not gothic
No I’m not Emo, whatever the fuck that means
No I’m not upset
Listening carefully
Sunshine and Daises are not my thing
And I will never know the latest trends
Cause once again I just don’t care
Don’t think that I ought to
Hate the world?
Because of what I look like; that’s what you think I do
The answer is no.
But I’m not feeling you at the moment
How can you tell me what I should look like?
It’s not that I don’t dress right
It’s that I don’t dress like others
I would never ask someone to change
Because I know I wouldn’t do the same
You may not believe
May not understand
But I’m happy with who I am
Not all of us are made of sugar and spice
Or puppy dog tails
Or whatever the hell they’re saying nowadays
No, you don’t understand
Please I don’t want your advice
Stop thinking I should look a certain way
Listen for a moment…
Just to do me a favor
Look in the mirror
And see that I’m not you.
