Pretty Little Punk Girl

By stuart_pid

(honestly, im not sure why i even bothered to write this down, but i did, so here it is.)

Pretty little punk girl,
with pink hair and a pierced everything.
Interminably shrouded in cigarette smoke
seeping from vermilion lips.
Yeah, I said you're kinda hot.
So what?
Why should I get a life?
Or was it grow up?
Whatever the hell you said,
is that your typical reaction to flattery?
Damn.
Don't over analyze.
I didn't expect you to repay me
with deviant, deplorable sexual favors,
or some other sort of immoral behavior.
I'm already pleasure bound
in a faithful relationship.
And no one I've met so far
had the power to break that.
Not even you.
You're not that special Precious,
so don't flatter yourself.
As a matter of fact,
get over yourself.
Why don't you come down off your cloud
and join the rest of us.
It's really much more fun down here.
I swear.
Just try not to assume
that every dude
is trying to fuck you.
It's so much easier to simply smile,
say thank you,
and take it for what it is.
A friendly gesture,
nothing more.

    LOL - love it :-) But truth be told, it sounds more like inner dialog than what really went down. I know, cuz I've been there…and the perfect retort comes around as you sit a stew about how arrogant and rude it was - how what you'd really like to say was…………… I enjoyed this :-)

    Nice. Loved you're words in this. Very cool write. -Cinn

  • A former member wrote: Hah yah I know people like this. Loved this, glad you did write it down and put it up. ~Ship!

  • A former member wrote: good write, i've known the type...but consider her point of view. some stranger thinks she's hot like her identity is tied up in her sexuality only, etc. Also, from the poem we can't tell "how " you said it, so your off scott free. context is everything.

    I agree. I'm still her, to an extent. Forget the image, but the attitude. A compliment is a compliment, but they're hard to distinguish from the rest, at times.

  • A former member wrote: my hair was green, and i always responded, "you're not too shabby yourself, sweetheart." if someone takes time to say something to make me feel good about myself, there is no need to be a brazen bitch for it. -zay

  • A former member wrote: HAHAHA! I love this. I was a "sexy" little punk girl myself once, but I wasn't a bitch. This girl was probably just pushing you off to hide her own insecurities. I know I had blue hair and the "bad ass" wardrobe to hide myself.

    heh heh heh, crazy write, I love the attitude - and the short, effective jabbing lines perfectly emphasise the 'nature' of the punk girl..... Thank you.

    This was damn good...Well expressed through a witty dialogue...Well done...

  • A former member wrote: oh god! this reminds me of some poeple i know, and u know what?! it's so true! if people would just come back down to Earth, finish up being "the shit," and stop being so full of themselves, it would make them so much happier, and conseqently it would mak

  • A former member wrote: make the people around them happier as well. i hate being able to tell a persons whole outlook on life in one rude gesture. lol.
