I Have Black Nails

My nails are black,
Don’t judge me by that.
I didn’t paint them for you.
MY nails, on my hand.
It’s not a political statement,
It says nothing to you.
Don’t stereotype me.
It’s a color.
It doesn’t mean I'm a goth,
it doesn’t mean I'm anti-social.
It says nothing about the music I like.
My life isn’t dictated by my nail color.
Labels are for soup cans.

Well, my first thought was: "It goes with the
territory."
Black nails are a form of expression,
especially for those who consider
themselvesinto the goth scene.
Black is an intriguing color for them,
as it relates to their music in such
a way that they form somewhat of a
symbiotic relationship.
I think you have taken a step away from all
of this with your poem "I Have Black Nails",
by saying that you do not necessarily
belong in the goth subgroup.
For your own independent reasons you
have decided to paint your nails black,
and that in itself makes you unique.
Although you don't have to paint your
nails black to be unique, you have
chosen that route because maybe it
bests suits you for whatever reasons.
I am certainly not detracting from
gothic music with what I have said
here, as I think it has much to say
and is a unique artform. It just might
not be for everyone. |
