There's a million of us just like me
Who dress like me
Walk,talk and act like me
They might just be the next best thing but not quite me
-Eminem


They usually come in groups of three and four
I know you must have seen them around
Those girls that seem to have it all
They walk the same way
They talk the same way
They laugh at the same jokes
They have the same style
Those girls that can make you feel like nothing
With just a snicker
Or a long look in your direction
I tried to be like them once
I walked,talked and dressed like them,
I laughed when they laughed
Ate when they ate
But it never worked
I never fit in
They mocked me
Laughed in my face
I just knew i was doomed
Doomed to be an outcast forever
I would never fit in
It took a while before i looked closer
Did i really want to be just another face
When people looked did i want them to think
Oh she's just another one of those girls
That was when i realized
The day i change myself to fit in
Will be the day i become invisible

"Respect existence or expect resistance"

I liked the message in this, and there was some great repitition in this! The last line was wonderful, a wistful echo of the truth that truly defined what popularity is. People blending in because they are too shy too stand out. The relation to bullying was also very good, and expressed again how 'those girls' loose values by becoming one with the pack rather than sticking true to themselves. Well done, and great message!
