Playing that Game

I am so young,
old enough to know better,
but too young to care.
So young,
yet I have old eyes,
and a stolen soul.
I steal souls.
I prance through the room,
filled to the brim with friends
I know all too well.
I am the bright light
that deafens because
I talk too loud when excited.
I smile
and I live
like I�m not dying inside.
A college girl trying to run away
from a high school world.
Too smart to be stupid
but too stupid to fit in.
I wish I could be a beatnik,
so I could say things like,
�Hey, look at me
with my long dyed black hair
moving over black clothes
and my black sunglasses.
I�ll wear black
until they come up with a darker color.�
I could be heavy
like a kiddie pools
and talk about politics
like it actually means something to me.
Layers, baby,
just too many layers.
They grow until they meld
together,
into one.
The Hank would kill me
for this mess, but
I keep the walls up and the fences down
and wonder what the difference is.
Until I remember the electric fence.
Scale the wall, baby,
Scale the walls.
