The Pimple

If the pimple on your nose,

grows,

and grows.

Joins up with the others, until it covers,

the whole of your face

makes you feel out of place

with the group your in

different looking skin.

So you go to find someone of your kind,

who won’t point and stare,

until you can’t bear

to venture outside

where there’s nowhere to hide.

Till you’re forced to use cover

as you search for another

of whatever you are,

you travel afar.

Away from it all,

makes you feel very small

and afraid of the thought,

that you could get caught

by someone who’ll discover,

that there is no other

who looks like you.

You’ll be put in a zoo

in a small open box

all covered in locks

so you can’t get away

from the people who pay

to look at the face

that is so out of place.

From the rest of the world

and the teenage girls,

who look in the mirror

and shake and quiver

at the pimple on their nose

as it grows and grows…..
