Overrated Poem by Allysyn Bryant

This world can be so fake, that it’s pathetic
Too many people trying to be “cool”
Can’t tell who’s who, real or fake
They’re becoming all the same.
Why can’t people just be themselves?

Reality shows, the hottest fashion, best dance moves…
They’re all overrated.
Too many care too much about being the best.
They should open their eyes (and ears) to see what’s real.
Only then, maybe, some people could actually be happy.

Walking down the street, no one smiles
They scowl at you, like you’ve ruined their day
Just by walking along the sidewalk.
It’s sad sight to see, let me tell you.

I’d love to be in a place where I could freely be happy
Without having to deal with all problems that follow…
Or deal with the people who have to ask why I am…
Those who try to ruin other people’s days
Just to make themselves feel better
They’re the ones who are fake.

It’s all overrated.
So pass this on to a friend today
Stop being overrated and acting stupid for your selfish reasons
Get over yourself. And be real.
