How to Be a Somebody

by Little Dot   Jun 4, 2006


You`ve got to be perfect
Put on your make-up
Just the right amount

Get your nails done up
Don't forget about your hair
Make sure no hair is out of place

You want to be noticed
So slide on that short skirt
And that little top of yours

Make sure you`re centre of attention
Come on, you want to fit in right
Put a smoke in your mouth

Take a drink too
Now that they have you smoking
Why not try a little weed

How about trying that cocaine
Everyone is doing it
So why not join in

I mean it`s there right
And you want everyone to love you
So you have to be like all the others

Now your going to be sick
Running to the bathroom
You don`t make it though

You fall to the floor
You must have drank to much
You have alcohol poisoning

You seem to have overdosed
To much drugs in your system
Now everyone has their eyes on you

Dying on the floor
Someone calls an ambulance
They get there just in time

To watch you take your last breath
I guess you won`t be doing that again
At least you were cool for a while

-I thought I would clarify. Centre, is actually spelled correctly, in Canadian English. I mentioned it because a few people brought it up.-

    Really good you have a bold point to make and you didn't without losing rythym i know quite a few people who have had stuff similar not quite as severe happen and your first lines describing what they do to get ready reminded me of how they felt.

    You seem to have overdosed
    To much drugs in your system

    ^however "To much drugs" should be "TOO much drugs" amazing how people picked up on the supposedly "wrong" spelling of Centre but not a little word like TO

    also it seemed to drag on a little long around the mention of weed maybe a little too much detail

    Nice way to get the point across. I really liked it. Though it made me sad. One of my friends killed herself while high. Great poem.

    Lol this poem has a great message and, as sad as it is, it made me laugh. I spose it's because it's so true. Great job.

    Wow..that's so true. I really liked this one.

    "So slid on that short skirt"
    Slid should be slide.

    "Make sure your centre of attention"
    Centre should be center.

    Just a couple of little mistakes. Good job!
