Cool

(Girl, aged 13)
 
“Wanna see something cool?” she asks
 
She opens her purse and takes out a pack of cigarettes
 
She places one to her lips and says
 
“I know smoking kills but, it’s what all the cool kids are doing.”
 
She then lights her cigarette and inhales
 
 
 
 
(Boy, aged 15)
 
“Bro I got something really cool to show you.” he says
 
“What is it?” I said
 
He walks up to a freshman and punches him in the face.
 
The kid runs off crying in fear.
 
“I usually never nor would I ever do that to a kid but,… he says
 
“But… what? I said
 
“Well, there is this popular clan at school and I wanted to be one of them.” he says
 
“They told me I had to prove myself.”
 
Cracking his knuckles he walks away
 
 
 
(Girl, aged 16)
 
“So prom is coming up and I hear everybody is getting laid.” she says
 
“How so?” says one of her friends
 
“Are you ready to see something cool?” she asks
 
Her friends nod with eager excitement as she pulls out a tall bottle of vodka.
 
She chugs a swift heavy shot of it down her throat, walks up to the nearest guy
 
and begins to make out with him
 
 
 
 
(Girl, aged 18)
 
“Diggin’ these lips aren’t ya?” she says
 
“Oh yeah….” I said as she softly bit my lip
 
“Do you wanna see something cool?” she asks
 
then she drops her dress

(2014)

This poem is about kids who are so desperate to fit in and how some will do anything for acceptance.
