OMG!!!

“Omg! You look soo hot”

“I lurrve your new shoes.. Aldo?”

“Heyy sexy did you watch gossip girl yesterday? Nate is gorgeous! That time they kissed my insides totally melted.”

“Did you know that rahul and diya broke up yesterday? He’s such a bastard.
But wait didn’t diya cheat on him? She was quite friendly with that guy in college wasshissname arjun maan!”

And I am one with them.
These idiots I call my friends
Their world revolves around movies and break ups and real life turns reel
Clones of each other
Same straightened hair, asymmetrical hairstyles, leggings, piercings, blankness mirroring pretty vacant kohl lined eyes
They parrot their idols
A sham of the present.

And I join then
Mocking their insecurities
A broken nail, split ends, sleeves outta fashion, earrings too big
They amaze me
With the seamless way in which they weave through reality
Never stopping to actually think.
Do they know how?
Or do they just do what mommy says?
The things we’re meant ‘not’ to do
Smoking drinking doping
All part of the great plan

Does that fill your emptiness little one?
Can you see through the shimmering curtains the broken glass the cobwebbed corners of the pretty painted room?

I can.
Beneath all the hairspray and the face varnish and the glitter
We’re all ugly.

Does that scare you?
It’s the truth.
If they told you otherwise,
‘They’ lied.
