Society says your be yourself,
but then judge you on how you dress.
Society says wear this,
and if you don’t then you an outcast.
Society says size doesn’t matter,
but then they call you fat.
Society wants you to live in a world of peace,
but then starts most of your problems.
Society wants you to be who you are,
but you will never be perfect in,
the eyes of,
Society.
