Perfect Little Pretty Boy
The only good thing
 about this poem is the name.
 I need attention.
 
 For some odd reason
 I feel entitled to a
 life superior.
 
 Ha, that's such a laugh.
 A perfect little pretty
 boy gets what he wants.
 
 The other joke is
 how he crys when it isn't
 completely around.
 
 Maybe he deserves
 to be avoided like the 
 plague. But he isn't.
 
 The perfect little
 pretty boy even writes in
 an organized form.
 
 Maybe the perfect
 little
 pretty boy
 needs to let loose,
 become unblind.
 And stop being such a
 s***.
 
 He needs to
 stop faking it
 and be
 creative,
 unrelated
 to the pressures of
 society
 and set flames to new
 rioting,
 and rebel 'gainst the system,
 reject playing the victim,
 be free and uncaring
 in a world he is sharing-
 instead of stealing; and tearing
 at the seams of reality
 and jaunting in place,
 instead he must face
 a cruel mentality
 that he isn't perfection,
 and his pretty reflection
 has no meaning
 and he's only careening
 away from
 the truth.
 
 But he knows that won't
 happen. Because attention
 is an addiction.
 
 Form is his friend.
 And his thoughts are his downfall.
 But that's the new trend.
