And

+ I am a dangerous trend 

A sign of adolescent miscalculation 

Or else, a dark clawed thing 

+ I am a shadow on the wall– 

They have never seen my face 

(I don't think they want to) 

+ I am a talking point 

An illustrative picture 

A "what's wrong with" 

+ I am a mistake is what they say 

They are telling each other that I am a mistake

+ I am silent in their stories 

When they talk to you about me, notice this– In their stories, I never open my mouth

+ I have learned to be sweet + good at this dance.

They would love me if they met me, 

Smile at my elegant mask 

+ call me the wrong thing when I turned my back–

But I am a dangerous trend 

+ I am a shadow on the wall 

+ I am still going to be here in the morning
