Society

"Why am I so stressed?"
Honey, because life has you down,
You feel like those eye balls
Have pulled off your crown
They have all shattered the silver to pieces
And expected you to glue every part of it together Oh So perfectly
Because they SAID SO
Because yes you're good enough
But no, not that good
So sit down
Keep your head up though
And don't talk too much
But say all of the right things
Because "you're worth it all"
"Your possibilities are endless"
But your opportunities can be pulled away by your limit of green paper
And if you try to satisfy your self
By lighting up that paper rolled in green
You better give up, pretty girl,
Because you're a sinner.

[John the Baptist]

This one reflects the messages society often gives us. I must wonder why society gives such messages. I must also wonder why we listen to them.
