Words flung
through crowded hallways
of broken-hearted people
labels pasted by jealousy or
empty bitterness
Pipples a crime
Weight a heavy issue
(pardon the pun)
How shallow can we get
it seems like everybody's trying
to break a record.
Broken in to clicks
of stay-with-your-type lunch tables
and gossip poisoned ears
emo, nerd, geek, freak, popular
Tell me:

Who are we
to name anyone?
