Contrary To The Masses

Armani Jeans and Nike shoes
Backwards caps and ink tattoos

Secret hand shakes snap, crack and pot
Calvin Klein boxers and a billabong top

Label me and stick me in a box
Trying to be different, Manson Rocks!

Lead me around on a collar and leash
To be original is to be just out of reach.

I think it's really good with sounds, and length. The ending is a little obvious-- could you put it another way? You obviously have a lot of talent! Brava!

Short but complete and to the point...it even rhymes ^.^

The ending was powerful and true in a way:

Lead me around on a collar and leash
To be original is to be just out of reach.

I like your poem's messages...they are honest and true..
