Running Against The Currents

Peer pressure.

Some friends they tell you that It's not cool,
the other ones dropped out of school.
One day you crack under the pressure,
and run with the currents, thats what you do.

 

It's never late to go back home,
because suddenly, you feel alone.

And although you struggle with loneliness,
you'll keep on running from the people you miss.

 

But at a certain point it gets hard to cope,
you've lost it, you have no hope.
Come over here I'll teach you how.

Its easy, all you have to do is:

 

Stop. Where. You. Are,
just say no.

On my mark,

Get ready. Get set. GO!

Author's Note

I'm really bad under pressure.

I just tried to write something that would help a little.

Constructive critism is welcome.

Hi! First I just want to say how much I loved your bio. That's so cool. :) I really like this poem. It's a good reminder...peer pressure is probably the hardest. Good job.

I hate peer pressure. I really like this poem, we all need to be reminded that we can always say No.

I really feel the same sometimes. Peer Pressure is everywhere, even in your friends. A few of my friends have dropped out or are on drugs. Yet the strength to say no is a great power that not everyone seems to have. Well written!

really good poem, and its really creative in a cute way...
and everyone buckles under pressure sometimes, its nothing to be upset about...
the people around you and the things you do shape who you are...
corny i know

This is actually very cute. :) I like the playful attitude you give to it, because going against the current is NOT an easy thing to do, so to give it that playfulness, one can easily see pushing through the currents. Nicely done. :)
