Ironic Freewrite for Us all

by Trisha De Gracia

Ha. Ha.
Funny isn't it?
How easy it is for me to laugh in *YOUR* face.
You know, it's great we all think we know eachother.
Because of how we all dress
or who we choose to befriend.

And it's not like we're all evil goths here
Oh no no no
we're talking about the slutty blonde whores
The airhead jocks
AND the PRETTY girls.
And hey, while we're at it, let's not forget the druggies
and the skaters
and the thugs
and the dramafags
and the regular fags.
We can't forget about them now can we?
Not to mention the "cool group"
yeah, you know them. They're the ones that we all care about aren't they?
The ones who have the golden opinions.
They can be a mix of all of the above or just one type.
Many are kind, loving, warm people **(not to judge them or anything)
but it only takes one powerful one
to make the difference.
To change them all...

And sometimes it feels like they have no flaws.
Doesn't that suck?
The way we / as we grow older / tend to forget
that we all started out
as ugly
squirming
screaming
ooze-covered little beings
sprung forth from the thighs of another before us.
Haha, yeah, all of us, sans cesarians.
Dont you remember?

You started to learn valuble things
like how to kick
and yell
and use a knife.

And eventually everything you learned and everything
that you had in you to start with
twisted up and tried to grow
and thats where you are today.
thats where we all are.
And it's funny because only now are we really starting to find our roots and use them.
only at this age are we really starting to look at the world
and all the freaks in it...

...and realize that when we really think we're laughing at them
they take the mirror away from our faces,
laugh, **(ha. ha.)
and yell
GOTCHA!!
