society is grey, blank skin
black lifeless eyes
always looks stressed
always seems upset

society.
so insecure,so unstable.
well...what will i do about it?
nothing.
wait for it to go away
things will be better another day
i bet i look witless
people always try to help me
can't they just mind their business

i hate feeling this way
so negligible
but...i cant do anything about it
can i?

maybe, i can change
maybe, i can feel better
but how could i change.
i could dye my hair
i could dress different
i could work out
can i actually?


maybe if i try
i could feel better inside
i could work to change myself
i could swallow my pride
I could try to get help
and then maybe so
i can finally feel
like ive finally grown


society is bright, glowing skin
happy, joy-filled eyes
always seems blessed
always seems content
