Idols and Cultural Standards
Growing up idolizing Taylor Swift
She sure knew how to play the boy game
Maybe one day Prince Charming will get the drift
Girls wearing short shorts and crops, Sorry I shop that thrift
But I play an outsider not desperation shame
I ain't trying to blame
You probably think I am lame
How I ride my metal insolo shift
If only gentlemen still wanted to save a dame
Instead of enjoying a one night stand testosterone lift

This piece was a great combination of goofy and serious. Our adolescent brains naturally find someone to look up to, and as we grow we are expected to follow the trends. In the same breath, teens/young adults will face problems with love and lust-- knowing the difference between who is there for you. Ultimately, your poem dipicts a few struggles growing up and i appreciate you sharing your views on them. Continue the good work!
