Socitey Poem by Lily Jacobsen

Socitey



Everyone follows the rules of society like sheep follow the shepherd to the butcher.
For girls that's to flirt but never lead boys on, look like someone else but don't be fake, sleep around but don't be a hoe. Girls are better seen and not heard. Girls are supposed to take beating after beating from society without saying anything. Girls are not supposed to have a witty mind and a tongue like a knife. They are supposed to be soft to the touch and have no tongue at all.
For boys that is to act tough and never show emotions. To protect, get the job done and onto the next one. Boys are considered a man as soon as he sleeps with a girl or he degrades one. Boys are supposed to be strong but as soon as they show any type of emotion other than anger and self-centeredness are called weak. Boys are supposed to be strong like a pack of wolves and have a tongue like a serpent.
But what about the boys and girls who aren't like this?
Where are they, or where did they all go?
