The Title Doesn't Fit. by ~applestrudel:iconapplestrudel:



When Tomorrow's Just Like Yesterday, They're Not The Same At All

One day,
I'm
Gonna be that hippy writer chick
In the studio apartment
In the cheapest borough she can find.

You know the one.
The one who protests on the weekends
And spends the weekdays huddled over a typewriter;
Clack, clack, clack.

And the words she's writing
Are all over.
She put up wallpaper
Just so she could paint the walls
With the words that her typewriter

Didn't want to say.

And she wishes she was an artist
So she wouldn't look so lame
In her blue t-shirt and jeans that only fit now because
Ramen's all she can afford to eat.

And she wishes she wasn't flat broke,
But changing the world don't come cheap,
And it don't bring much in, either.

Yeah.
I'm going to be that hippy writer chick.
Tryin' ta change the world,
Even though she knows
It's never gonna happen.

Yeah, right.

I really like this and I can't even decide why. Awesome.

Like a good writer, you've managed to paint an entire picture in my mind, in complete 3D detail. And might I add, that you managed to do so in such a short poem for your norm? Yes, very nicely done. (Though I don't see you as much of a hippie, I can see this scene to a very small extent. Perhaps with a few more people in the scene... *cough*)
