the young and the hopeless could never be wrong 
girls and boys and the productions they put on to convince themselves of their worth
                        they make fools of themselves 
            or realize they are foolish 
            or realize they are shallow. thin as 
paper

girls and boys and the faces they put on to convince themselves of some feeling
                        they fictionalize themselves

                        wasted 
                                    gone.
