Silly, silly boys in High School
The majority of which show off their upper halves, and lift weights to impress
Silly, silly girls in High School, trying to be in the same in the way that they show skin
Silly, silly children
More, more
We want the outrageous stories, we’ve built up resistance to being impressed
We want more of the world
More skin, more drugs, more drinks
We won’t stop until we’re intoxicated with the world
More technology, more color, more sounds
More movies, more ***, more happiness
More starving, more shooting, more ****
More worry, more violence
More

Silly, silly boys in High School
Most girls would prefer a guy who’s not shallow and strong unless the girl is also shallow
But smart mentally, the future of the world
Silly, silly girls
Boys don’t want a ****, unless they’re also a ****
They want someone confident and comfortable in their own skin
Someone funny and charismatic
Silly, silly children
Less, less
We’re gobbling up everything in an attempt to be great
But we’re also wasting our resources, moving onto new things
Already bored with our toys
Less water, less food
Less fuel, less cries heard in the night
Less energy, less motivation
Less segregation, less smoking
Less suicide, less anorexics
Less

And soon, if we continue, we’ll be left with nothing
Left for the dead
Silly, silly boys
Silly, silly girls
Silly, silly generation

Silly girl oh silly girl
You cannot have it all
Too many toys to play around with,
Don’t notice the ones that fall

Silly girl oh silly girl
Your life is now perfect
Skin as smooth as marble, the perfect man
You’re not the ones to deserve me

Silly girl oh silly girl
What has gone to your head?
The perfectness, the popularity, the power?
You’re not the one to deserve it

Silly girl oh silly girl
Where are your “friends” now?
They’re gone now mama,
I will never understand

Silly girl oh silly girl
Did you think your life was all bliss?
Too caught up in all of the action, the worthless gold
Did you ever reminisce?

Silly boy oh silly boy
I think she deserves a kiss
Silly girl oh silly girl
Here is the one that you missed

Silly me
To think
You would ever
Go for a girl
Like me

Silly me
To think
You may actually
Have some kind
Of interest
In me

Silly me
To think
You wouldn't want
That pretty girl
Over there
Who is practically
Calling your name

Silly me
To think
You would want
To be seen
With someone
Who has as many flaws
As I do

Silly me
To suggest
That maybe
T find you
Intriging
In more than one way

Silly me
To fantasize
That you may
Feel about me
The same way
I felt about you

Silly me
Thinking
That I may be worth
Something
To someone

Silly me
To boost
My self confidence
Only to have it plummet
Yet again

Silly me
To allow myself
To fall
Head over heals
For your smile
And laugh
And amazing eyes

Silly me
To let myself
Think about you
So often
Everyday

Silly me
To write about your beauty
And become even more
Infactuated
With the way
You talk to me

Silly me
To even imagine
That I could ever
Be loved
Especially
By a creature
As brilliant
As you

Silly, silly, silly me.
To think I'm free, and that I'll be somebody?

Silly, silly, silly me.
You can't be free, and that's just it,
All you are is 'somebody.'
Some-body.
"Some body."

But that's not true!
Look at Trostky and Lenin,
Michael Myers and Lennon,
The other Lennon.
It's hard to differentiate in name and legacy,
Because both Lennon's were revolutionaries,
Marching around like the freshman from heaven.
But neither believed they were the result of divine intervention in the affairs of man,
Because this convention would threaten their worldview and beckon away their sanity...
In the same way that the Pope or ****** let their divine vanity commit greater blasphemy and bring them future agony.

Now neither Lennon nor Lenin came anywhere close to being men from Galilee,
In fact they were more the men of the galaxy,
Or at least, John was, with his peach fuzz beard and his belief that love is greater than fear.
The other Lenin implemented the New Economic Policy, to starve the proletariat and start his revolution on an already hypocritical trend that would continue quite the same until the very end.
And it proves something, does it not?
Violence sends a message to no one but the instigator,
Changing them to justify, and claim is wasn't misbehavior;
But that's a lie, no idea of mine is worth the death of a human mind,
And to pretend otherwise makes one delude themselves that they aren't an instigator, but an illustrator,
Painting in the blood as if ****** makes an innovator.

And for ******, there is no vindicator,
Violence is an image breaker,
Indulged in by poor imitators who think they're right, and the world is wrong.
Unaware this makes them weak, not strong.

Now John Lennon was the true revolutionary;
Although he succumbed to violence, he veered away from it, even when it was necessary.
He fought the war, and yes, the war did win,
But at least he didn't cover his scars with artificial skin,
Or deny his implicit wrongs as a result of all original sin.

John Lennon used the word '******' to the opposite effect.
He used the word to trigger something bigger and correct,
The wrong that seemed so propagated by the last colonial tide,
Of which the other Lenin defected and took colonialism's side.

John Lennon was Utopian and told us of a better world;
He interjected definition, and caused old thoughts to curl away in fright,
And bite the dust despite their might and past dominion of industrialism,
It was a schism, and it still plagues us to this day.

John Lennon understood we over-complicate way
To
Often.


Silly, silly, silly me.
To think I'm free, and that I'll be somebody?

Silly, silly, silly me.
You can't be free, and that's just it,
All you are is 'somebody.'
Some-body.
"Some body."

"Some body" is something,
And some body can change the world.

Silly girl,
Silly girl,
Silly girl,

Oh silly girl,
Could you,
Spare me the details,
I,
Been wanting to see you,
And,
See to that we prevail,

Oh silly girl,
There was,
Something about you,
And,
I can admit that and,
We could see all this through to the end of the road of
Existing and living through these situations like we've
Never wanted paradise to fall right out of the sky and
Carry us up  there seeing us as human beings that make
Mistakes and was intended to die like it was written,

Silly girl,
Silly girl,
Silly girl,

Oh silly girl,
I'm use to,
Loving in many ways and,
Giving my heart away for,
People that try again so,

Oh silly girl,
I see you,
All that you are, I support,
You and all the decisions you've made,
Covered in sin for in a blood sport babe.

You know the type.
She's probably called something like
Isabella. Rosalie. Ginevra.
and you find her in the sort of novel where
she's outdone by someone called something like
Jane. Agnes. Lucy.
She's remembered in criticism as
Trivial. Silly. Foolish.
She's defined as Shallow. Vain. False gold.
She's analysed as the mirror, the contrast or the foil
and you're supposed to vaguely dislike her.
She'll reaffirm to the reader that the heroine,
whether she be plain or beautiful, is always, in the end,
Rational. Independent. Brave.
She reaffirms the heroine as someone who
learns and grows
while the silly girl is left looking at herself in the mirror.

The thing is sometimes I feel more like the silly girl,
the girl who needs a hand, the girl who reads books
and wants to believe the stories.
Sometimes, I'm looking in the mirror,
chest deep in my own trivial, silly little worries,
looking at the puddles not the lake, and I know.
I know I'd be one of the silly girls,
not the heroine, out there, just surviving.
I'd be one of those silly girls and I hate it - and yet
- what's so wrong with the silly girls?

What's so wrong with the girls who love themselves,
or love the wrong people or love their clothes?
What's wrong with the girls who are
brave but not rational,
independent but trivial,
selfish but practical?

What's wrong with those girls,
because I always find myself preferring
the Ginevras and the Isabellas anyway.
Basically, Isabella Linton and Ginevra Fanshawe are two of my favourite characters ever :)
Found this poem in the notes on my Kindle. I must have written it late at night, then forgotten about it. :) It's a bit lazy and silly and a bit different from other things I've been writing, but I decided to share it anyway.
I also can't believe that one of my most poems on here is me rambling about Ginevra.

Best not to ask why...
Silly, silly people say silly, silly things
Like how they're glad you appeared in their life, beautiful

If they only knew... right?

Best not to ask why...
Funny, funny people say funny, funny things
Like how they want to keep you in their life, somehow

If they only knew...right?

It's just another day
of showing you weren't a waste of time
It's just another day
of struggling to catch a good vibe
but all you are is black and blue... inside...
It's just another day
of nothing's gonna stand in your way
It's just another day
of trying to fix all that's not right
so close, but it's not enough
It's just another day
of pushing all your limits trying to prove...that...you...
It's just another day
of failure and "I'm sorry"
and struggling to get out of bed

If they only knew... right?

Take it from a silly, silly person
Best not to ask why
Silly, silly people say silly, silly things

If they only knew... right?

Take it from a funny, funny person
Best not to ask why
Funny, funny people say funny, funny things

Do me a favor?
Don't ask me why...
I wouldn't know what to say

Please
Don't ask me why
I'm just glad you appeared in my life
Don't ask me why
I just want to keep you in my life

I saw you standing,
I always saw you smiling;
I never thought you'd be the one
That I would see be hurting,
I know you talk so much,
I know you'd be a wisdom,
I never thought you'd be the one
That would be much over nothing;

Silly boy,
Why have you been fighting yourself?
Silly boy,
Why had you been telling no one?
I know you'll never be perfect,
And no one will ever be,
Silly boy,
I wish I could help you,
But the damage has been dealt.

I'd see you again, like any other day,
You'd say that you're fine.
But I see through your transparent lies,
Your two-way mirror eyes;
Your cut's been bleeding,
Your arms' been bruising,
Your sadness you've been hiding,
I can't stand to see you dying.

Silly boy,
Why have you been fighting yourself?
Silly boy,
Why had you been telling no one?
I know you'll never be perfect,
And no one will ever be,
Silly boy,
I wish I could help you,
But the damage has been dealt.

Oh, your head's been spinning,
You've thought you've seen the last
Oh, your wall's been collapsing,
You took the breath that was your last.

Silly boy,
Now that you've been defeated,
Silly boy,
Now we know it's not all on your head
Instead of love that should be coming,
It was blood that poured out, bleeding,
Silly boy,
I wish I could save you,
But the damage has been dealt.

Silly boy,
Why have you been fighting yourself?
Silly boy,
Why had you been telling no one?
I know you'll never be perfect,
And no one will ever be,
Silly boy,
I wish I could help you,
But the damage has been dealt.

I wish I'd been there for you,
**But the damage has been dealt
I don't know it's supposed to be a song about __________________

There are castles in the sky
for little girls that cry
and sailing ships, to secret islands
for little boys who, wonder why
not everything turns to magic beans
Silly little dreams
Silly little dreams
silly little
beautiful little
silly little beautiful dreams

and I wonder why
any of it ever
has to pass us by

Weave your dreams from pieces of string
pop tabs and the tear drops in your eyes
It's a necklace made of pure gold
and gems the castle treasury holds
for a forgotten Princess
when she's feeling blue

Toy guns
and a burned out car
A weathered picnic table
overturned
Formidable fortresses for a war
Where the dead go home at the end of the day
'cause everyone always,   gets away
Silly little dreams
Silly little dreams
Silly little
beautiful little
Silly little beautiful dreams

And I wonder why
any of it ever, has to, pass us by

Anyway...

Sometimes life turns out that way
The sun still shines
just the same
on everyone ....
'til the day is done
Then rest your head
on what you call bed
and let your magic dreams.....
take you where they may
Beautiful beautiful
Beautiful beautiful
silly little beautiful dreams

And every little girl
is a beautiful Princess
Invincible boys
go off to war
and everything
is always wonderful..
when you can't stay awake any more
Beautiful beautiful
Beautiful beautiful
silly little beautiful dreams

Roosty

— The End —
