Poseur

A river you're bound to be found in The rope you're bound to be hanged in The noose beckons you swinging A blabe of malice slits your throat. Store-bought attitude and spit You're a just sugar-coated piece of sh.it You're so unreal it's evident A goddamn insult to the rest of us. You seek to be a rebel But you just have greed The pit of your being Long lost and forgotten You can tell the same lie a thousand more times But it won't get anymore true So close your eyes once more and once believe That they all still believe in you

Thanx for the kind words. I would appreciate a little help with the last two lines in the second last stanza. It sounded right in my head but writing it makes it feel kinda rushed and out of place. Regards, Johan.

Very interesting. You adequately portray the feelings of teen angst and the informality within. I enjoyed this very much. Keep it up. Niko
