I must have accidentally
stumbled into the 'cool crowd'...

I'm done with the high school
    yearbook autographs (comments).
I'm done with the fashion show critics.
Since when did love notes, friendship letters,
    become the model for exceptional poetry?
I've seen the good leave
    and the bad stay...things are gonna change.
I've thought about leaving...
but instead I'm coming back in force...
like 8 mile,
except I'm gonna make you walk 16...
I'm sick of the brown nosers, comment whores,
fake suicidals, spotlighters...things are gonna change.
If you don't like me- I don't give a shit...
more importantly, if you don't like me poetry...
even better.

you
can
have
your
comments
back

you
can
take
me
off
your
favorites

you
can
unbookmark
my works...

It's up to you...

But don't use me
or my work
as a battlefield
for your social insecurities...

The Chameleon has shed its skin once again,

POETRY JOCKS AND CHEERLEADERS: you represent everything that artists, musicians,
poets and artistic minded individuals despise...
you represent everything artificial, and worthless to our fucked up little world...

congratulations,
there's another comment for your yearbook...



This worthless piece of scrap paper will self-destruct in 2 days.

It is one thing to except that they will always exist, it is another to "accept" their intentions. And their intentions is where "plastic" si defined, not the quality. Their intentions are like plastic, a cheap alternative that's bad for the environment

i really liked this, but people have to accept that there will be "plastics" no matter where you go...and who defines plastic? its a great piece on paper, but its doesn't work in the brain.

i agree with you, however, who is to say who is and is not plastic, and what if those who feel they might be lose intrest,and you destroy what could be the birth of a great poet...

This is true...but I didn't name any names here...simply acknowledged that they do exist...the plastic people know who the are and don't need me to call them by name....

i'm a newbie to this site, but well accustomed to the kinds of comments that people make when they have nothing really important to say; when they are talking to simply here themselves talk, or when there is some ulterior motive behind their words...

i've felt this way since my induction to this site...the constant whorring... "no exit four, you're a genius...check out my latest and i'll love you forever.".....

i'll check out what poems i want to check out when i'm in the mood to check them out and not a millisecond sooner...i would only hope that people would do the same for me..don't comment on my poems just to receive a comment because i won't play ball...

you really struck a nerve on this one, chameleon. well done.

yes this is the honest truth i remember how dp was before it became a popularity contest back when a person's comment was true and it wasnt made in hopes that their popularity would increase, well spoken piece

i know how you feel...it's one of the reasons I don't post poetry here as much anymore....good rant and good for you for having the balls (or estrogen, whatever the case may be) to say this.


On Wednesday January 28th, 2004, MindRape (872) writes:
oh and screw all of you who said we should just let the plastic poets stay and destroy our refuge. The whole point of this place was so that people like us could have a place untainted by plastic people and their plastic lives and their drama drama drama

and when I say destroy I mean by mocking our pain with their "poor me poor me Daddy didn't by me a gucci bag to match my new corvette" fuck them

Well before you scrap it let me stick my foot in the door long enough to at least say "yep". ~ mw


On Thursday October 16th, 2003, Chameleon (120) writes:
Anyway, this is a stupid piece of work, and its not poetry at all. It is the result of being pissed off (like most rants). I'm not going to waste my words making these types of points anymore but it is sad that a site I love as much as this one could in

i liked this poem... i thought i commented... but anyway, i think this is really well done... but how to turn the tides?


On Friday October 24th, 2003, Unbridled Pain (65) writes:
yeah, Bast should be one to comment on this even though she wrote Too Little Too Late. seems wierd to me. spotlighter, maybe?


On Sunday February 8th, 2004, Bast (895) writes:
never saw this... and... i'm confused. i personally don't see why posting a poem about my family situation is "spotlighting" anything. but then ::shrug:: my poetry isn't for you.

as for me i am tired of all these thesaurus whores who throw a bunch of words they think are cool together and drag it on FOR-FUCKING-EVER and they make no point and go nowhere but into the dp pity party.

but then what is the point of belonging to a site for sharing and getting feed back. We have poets of all types and sges and creative ability. lets not get too stuck up on ...I am a real artist bullshit.

Nah Cham.wasnt really directed at you as mush as all the people raising their hands saying "I". this is a rant pieace right? lol... and sometimes I just like to play devils advocate


On Thursday October 16th, 2003, Chameleon (120) writes:
Hmmm...real artist? I don't think that is the issue here. It's more being real in general. Be true to yourself, and it shows in everything you do...If you don't, you tend to get labeled...like this...why so defensive silver...I touch a sore spot?


On Tuesday October 14th, 2003, Silver Spectre (90) writes:
no to what? ..i was just ranting like Chameleon. I am an musician and have been writing both poetry and music for 25 years and so according to chameleon ...I can rant.....

Silver, I like you, but no.


On Tuesday October 14th, 2003, Stranger (281) writes:
Excellent analogy; I concur wholly. However, you have to acknowledge the fact that the median age of members on here is probably under 18. That means that this is part of the high school experience for most of the people on here.


On Tuesday October 14th, 2003, Stranger (281) writes:
Ergo, high school mentality is going to be prevalent. BTW, IMHO, you are, by far, one of the best writers on here.
