The Punk Girls I Know

I am perplexed by your rawness;

Correction:
your love of what you think is raw;
Posting pictures on instagram where you can see the line of hickies on your neck,
Devoting the comments to lyrics from songs I like that I almost wish I didn't now;

I am distracted by your weight on the world

Taking pictures on train tracks
Dying your hair black
Or slightly purple
I'm not really sure
Maybe blue

And you smile
You smile that smile of self fufillment
as if you have recieved what you deserve in this world
As if you deserve the adoration of
boys that wear fake glasses and pins on their jackets
As if you are so original
So unique I can't stand it
As if just because you haven't ever been to a one direction concert you are better
As if just because you wear off brand combat boots you probably bought at target you're better

But
You know,
all of your friends being pale with fake black hair is relatively the same as all her friends being pale with fake blonde hair

And maybe
you will never make me as angry as sorority girls,
But you are so goddamn close
So close to what you think is what you want

Yet so far from it all
