Society is envious of everything you have

Society attempts to corrupt your mind into thinking your lifestyle is incorrect

when in reality, society is incorrect

society is the chain attached to your ankles while trying to swim

the tide dragging you under when all you want to do is breathe

it’s the smoke stuck in lungs

and the words you can’t get yourself to say

give yourself a break

who cares what society believes

what’s important is that you believe in yourself

to those who stay awake at night crying for something good

keep dreaming

to those who can’t find one thing about themselves to enjoy

don’t change, no one is better at being you than you

to those affected by peer pressure

you’re so much more than a bad decision

to those who believe in any sort of self-harm

people do care, I care. you’re not alone

to those who can’t manage to get a good enough grade to please their parents

I know you’re trying, keep trying

to those going through whatever obstacle life has decided to throw at you

Just be the best you, you can be

because in the end you’ll always have yourself

that’s all that matters

Stay Strong
