Could I Be Emo? Poem by lilly mandrell

Could I Be Emo?

Rating: 3.0


So what?
So what if I
Like eyeliner, loud music and black clothes?
Am I emo?

So what?
So what if I
Love stars, ballet slippers, and skinny jeans?
Am I emo?

So what?
So what if I
Have funky hair, baby clips, and orange nails?
Am I emo?

So what?
So what if I
Cry a lot, write poetry, and sit alone in the dark?
Am I emo?

So what?
So what if I
Like plaid, going to shows, and bug eyed glasses?
Am I emo?

No I’m not emo.
What the fluff is emo?
A three letter word that means so much
But nothing at all.

No I’m not emo.
What the fluff is emo?
A word that can make people hate me
Just because of the way I look.

Well i think that this poem is cute in its simplicity... Interesting view on the society...and the importance of feeling the need to label individuals as if to sort them out into packages...
