[hometext] => This is about my hatred for being put into a genre. Why do we need labels?
[bodytext] => I sat there And listened As you played "Rape Me" over and over again As you forced this garbage down my throat And I smiled at you, and nodded my head And pretended I loved your taste in music And you said "Wouldn't it be better If everyone liked rock? If everyone liked metal And indie, and punk, and emo? Wouldn't it be so much easier?" For someone so "alternative" You're so narrow-minded And so terrified of conceptual diversity So forgive me For being adversarial Forgive me for having a different opinion Forgive me for not wearing bracelets And studded collars And band-name hoodies Forgive me for not being punk, or emo, or indie Forgive me for not fitting in I really do wish I had an identity I wish I had a genre, a box I wish it was that easy, I do But mostly, I'm glad I'm not like you [comments] => 1 [counter] => 182 [topic] => 6 [informant] => nobodysaidlifewasfair [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 10 [ratings] => 2 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => AngryPoetry )
