You

You
Should I lose myself to something bigger than me. Should I scream to make it all better. Should I just be dumb and never care at all.

You seem to know what is best for me
You seem to know how we should all live
Who are you anyway, you who dictate to us how we should live.
Why do you pretend to know so much.
Why have you set such a standard for us

One day we were all the same, we all loved playing with soil and whatever we wore didn't matter.
One day you came and suddenly a lot of things were wrong.
I ask you again who are you to dictate so much to us
Why do you feel the need to belittle us with our own eyes and make our image so not good enough that we're  filled with spite and anger towards the womb that carried us.
All because you tornish us to ourselves and everyone

Those that are outside they do not look at themselves.  They look at us and judge.
They comment on us like its okay to...  
Shut up! Woman
Look at yourself
You man!
I say look at yourself?

I was not brought to this world to hate
Yet now its all I know
I was not brought up to be mean
Yet when I ain't I do not fit in.
I ask again who are you?

Dare not say look in the mirror 'cause I am satisfied with myself when I do.
