should i?

By Petra Creffield

I wrote this tonight about two seconds ago
i had to get it out now had to let you know
that i can see it all - see all the hypocrisy
All of the bullshit that exists in all of them
and also in me
The rebels are yelling outside my windows
the youths are running while the prostitutes pose
got a spare fag? where you going darlin?
the smirk and the smear
the inevitable fear
is everywhere i can see
but i want to be free
to feel safe in my world no matter what they say
to keep me inside alone afraid and unable to play
should this be my last dancing day
is is time to grow-up and play
dead?
