Girls
I saw you do that.
How could I
Not?
Ignore, avoid, neglect.
BAD NEWS.
Watch your back.
Sneaking in
Like a snake.
That’s your rendition of quiet?
The ensemble can hear.
Louder and louder and louder.
Follow the ones who maneuvered you.
Stay put,
No opinions.
Do yours even matter?
Don’t tell
Anyone.
No one.
You conceded?
Stay tentative,
The mask is falling off.
Fast, Fast
Faster.
Put it back on.
Aren’t you concerned
they’ll see you?
Running down your face.
Now it runs down ours too,
But thicker.
And darker.
More permanent.
So naive,
Naive girls are.
Get over it,
Get over yourself.
You’re corroding.
Catch up,
Pull it together.
Overlook them all, Girl.
You’ll soon feel better.
