i refuse to lower my standards because "that's what makes people like you".

i refuse to gulp down that burning liquid because "it makes you feel so confident and fuzzy".

i refuse to choke down those pretty white pills because "they make the bad things go away".

i refuse to blacken my lungs with cancer sticks because "it shows the world you don't give a fuck".

i refuse to give up my innocence because "no one is a virgin these days".

i refuse to give my heart away to some immature little boy with dirty hands because "he makes me feel so loved and special".

i refuse to be another high school cliché because "everybody else is doing it".

trying to be someone i'm not has been
the stupidest mistake
i have ever made.

from this day forward,
i will honor myself,
body and soul.

i will always try to be myself.
even if i have no idea
who that is yet.
so.
high school sucks.
cliches suck.
that's really all there is to say right now.

[btw, imagine the words in italics being said by that girl/guy everyone wants to be liked by and friends with.
i'm pretty sure we've all met one of those people before.]

enjoy.
