Description “Strike a pose, poser,” they say.
So I dawn my black pants, black nails.
Long-sleeved shirt with thumbholes
And the oversized cross with red jewels.

“Strike a pose, poser,” they say.
So today it’s tight jeans
A frilly little baby-doll top
With ballerina flats and pink lips.

“Strike a pose, poser,” they say.
So now I spike my hair,
Put on the jeans with big holes
And a shirt that’s just a little low-cut for me.

“Strike a pose, poser,” they say.
“Fuck you!” I say, “No way.”
I am not the next top model
To strike your useless poses.

“Strike a pose, poser.”  “No way.”
I’ll be a punk.  I’ll be a prep.
Ill be a tramp.  If you don’t tell me to.
All in my own time, you posers.

really love the last stanza! I remember harboring the same attitude when I was in high school!

Nice poem I really liked how the last sentence ended with "you posers.", it adds an irritated emotion to the poem itself, as well as fits in greatly with the beginning of the other phrases and thus the theme, really lovely work

Once again you emotion comes through. I like the repeated instances of "Strike a pose, poser" it adds a rhythm to your words.
