Clique

Clique ... clique Peer pressure is a gun Low self-esteem wanting popularity, gather together in small clusters Grapes of wrath ... attack anybody who try to break the bind Verbal popping every moving target in the movie theater line Estrogen cries when the dust clears, another reject cherry fell off the vine Teachers can’t separate the sisterhood bond, boyfriends ain’t nothing but pretty toys Cat fights and tussles are only loud noise, a lot of ugly ducklings swimming in the pond Clique ... clique Squeeze off another round Mile high dreams everybody in the group got, but somebody is creeping ... talking behind their back A poser is in the midst, and the leader is gonna handle it Put a cheesy lip rumor in the mouse trap, throw a house party and hire a band Thieving eyes which covets your man, catch ‘em in the act, give ‘em a double tap Clique ... clique Peer pressure is a gun that’s loaded with angst bullets And everybody’s been shot by one Lip blasting every moving target in the stadium ticket line Testosterone cries when the dust clears, another reject berry fell off the vine Parents can’t separate the brotherhood bond, girlfriends ain’t nothing but pretty toys Fistfights and scraps are only loud noise, a lot of ugly ducklings swimming in the pond Clique ... clique Squeeze off another round Clique ... clique Peer pressure is a smoking gun Give your friend a cigarette, urge them to try one Clique ... clique Peer pressure is a smoking gun Give your friends the bottle of hooch, urge them to try some Clique ... clique Peer pressure is a smoking gun So hit the brakes hard, you little Bonnie and Clydes or your life will be in for a shoot ‘em up, bang bang ride

Excellant poem on how peer pressure can lead to bullying...the negative side of " safety in numbers... immaturity reveals itself in cliques. Fear of being "different" from the crowd, fear of rejection, and as you brought out, linked to low self esteem. Loved the " clique- clique " gun to your head sounds...when you don't " fit in," you're dead in tne water...lots of heavy imagery here- realism expressed in the most profound way. Great creativity, as always, in your poetry, Freddie! : )
