Society & Restrictions

Inside wishing to wear things I totally cant

Feeling the pressure everywhere

To be everything someone wants me to be

Trying my best to “fit in” with everyone


Inside knowing I don’t need to “fit in”

Being born to be myself

And not copy others as themselves

Staying strong cause I know I was born

To stand out.


Inside knowing I want to do things 

Instead, I do something different

Keeping watch on things I really shouldn't

Staying with everyone else and being up to date


Inside want everything I can't have

Wanting to be who I am but being

Held back by everyone

Especially my family


Inside seeing everyone laughing

And enjoying their day

As I walk through the halls

The pungent smell of girls perfume


Popularity

It’s just a word

The only one that

Cares about it are you
