Societys Way Poem by Kat Anonymous

Societys Way

Rating: 5.0


'Be yourself! '
They say,
'It's okay to be straight or gay.'

'You can express yourself
however you choose.'
But you'd better do it right,
or else your in for a bruise.

You can look like a yoga class
and everything is fine.
But if you dress like a funeral,
your on drugs all the time.

They bend you,
until you snap
and you want just want to
take a forever nap.

Your forced to roll down your sleeves
or else you want attention.
They say they love
suicide prevention.

Society is something
you can never leave.
So you might as well
just roll up your sleeve.

You will always be judged.
You will always be crazy.
You are permanently broken by society.
Society always gets its way.

a very thoughtful poem of trying to fit in and be part of the crowd? even if it makes you sad.
