Identity

What am I
But a label
I have nothing to distinguish
Myself from the other tags

Read them off, 
One by one
Tick them off,
One by one

Make sure they are all there
Otherwise you would cause quite a scare

Where have the skets gone?
Where are all the slags
How many roads must a nerd walk down
Before he gets called a fag?

How many times must an emo look up?
Until he can realise the poor
And stop being so self pitying
And stop sleeping with the whore

How many years should a dickhead exist?
Before he is washed by a tramp
And how many times should a junkie smoke weed
Before a goth turns him into a vamp

How many ears should the school bitch have?
Before she can hear the psycho cry
And how many suicide's lies it take till the self-harmer knows
That the school thinks she's gonna die

How many times should there be bullying of freaks
Before the retard knows how to take sides
And how many times should the rebel, rebel 
Until the wannabe by the rules, abides

How many times can we turn our heads
Pretending that none of us see
The answer, my friends
Is blowing in our sin.
The answer, is blowing,
In our sin.

Beautifully articulated and disturbingly thought-provoking, this chillingly accurate representation of the sinister truths that everyone is born to face will become a timeless classic of 21st century poetry.
