Premium Member Peer Pressure of the Worst
Peer pressure of the worst no matter who they are
They can be a boy or girl that they believe to become martyr's

Strapped to these young souls, is something they just don't understand
Yet the cowards who persuade them to miss, becoming a woman or a man

What,...

Peer Pressure
When we went to high school
We’d do best to fit in
And our popularity was measured greatly
By the number of our friends

We dressed up in the fashions
That everyone would wear
And only spent time listening
To the gossip out there

And our thoughts and our values
Would always be in...

Negative Peer Pressure
Oh! How difficult is peer pressure,
It is the identity measurer.
It is knowing who you really are,
When others say you are not who you are.
It forces you to measure up,
To things that you should give up.
It causes you to lower your standards,
To follow those who are...

Peer Pressure
In  high school, he was ridiculed,
for his stance on alcohol,drugs and sex.
He was mocked of his bold decision,
He was pressured to try drugs,sex,
smoking and alcohol.
He was forced to do many things contrary,
to school regulations.
But he took precautions into consideration,
and being exceedingly tactful against pressure.
Having...

Intellectual Peer Pressure
Intellectual peer pressure

The faces change from smiles to sneers
from effusive praises to contemptible jeers.
A man whose wisdom has been seen for years
now forced to face his prideful peers.

A man whose intellect is simply beyond compare
those who read his works just stop and stare.
How can someone...

Peer Pressure
If i don't groom my 
hair like the cock,
and return from home 
before night clock,
nor did i wear a jean 
rag

swag.

Did he pencil his 
trousar or wear it 
below his waist?
No! Was always...

Premium Member Avoiding Peer Pressure
blazing hot like cayenne pepper,
especially in adolescent years,
malleable youths
bend and capitulate
to peer pressure;
 grown folks take the bait, too.
it could be a simple
"try this like the rest of us cool kids!"
or just an effortless nudge of
"you're missing out!"
to descend
an impressionable youngster

down

Letter To Peer Pressure
Lessen your crimes now and give ear to me
Perhaps I can still make you understand
How a force for bad you've chosen to be
To many in the firm grip of your hand.
You cajole the one, abash the other;
Promise acceptance, threaten rejection.
All in an unfair attempt to...

Peer Pressure
Some tell me, go along with your peers.
Everyone does it, there's no need for fears.
Is it courage to simply go along with the crowd?
Courage is clearly the path that stands out.  If I'm allowed:

Peer Pressure
I'm just another player in this game
Left without control I feel no pain
Eyes stapled open to find the attached path
Slave forward and bite the led lash 
Stand still
Jump in the air
Get down 
Stay off the ground
Rules, guidelines
Follow no stay
Your crazy now sane
Eyes fade so does...

Bully
Thinking back when I was young
I still recall your bitter tongue 
you guys weren’t fooling anyone
behind those plastic smiles.

She felt the daggers in her back
and as she passed I heard you laugh
I’m sure she felt the aftermath
of your relentless wiles.

Your loyal cronies all stood by
and...

Lazy feels like quicksand
that can't afford to move.
And everything it's pulling down

Eric Says Relax
Killing time before a movie,
an ex and I 
rifles thru what the nearby shoppes had to offer,
hoping to be aroused by some 
remarkable deal.
I was making a Facebook post in
the first row of used clothes
when Eric sent me a text:
“Got some extra muscle relaxers

Premium Member Breakwater Marquette, Michegan
Technically, not a sea at all,
Lake Superior churns up its share of sea storms.

There is not a lot to do in Marquette, Michigan:
Except for high school drivers to "buzz the gut",
Or cruise past a courthouse where "Anatomy" was filmed.

You could smoke dope or drink underage
Under...

Hidden Fragments
Distrust lies in my heart, I’ve learned the hard way
		
		That even those who you think are for your best are for their way

		I was unaware of reality, so my opinions were swayed;
		
		I was left alone, I felt like no one wanted to stay 


		I remember...
