Oct 2015
What if I told you?
If I told you you're too chunky,
That you need to lose some weight,
Would you take my word as gospel?
Mold yourself to fit my taste?
If I told you, wear more makeup
Your skin is way too flat,
Would you hide your true reflection?
Behind a powder ridden mask?
If i said your "tastes" are tasteless,
Would you offer up that too?
Would you hide your true desires,
And all that makes " you" you?
If I said to join the masses,
To act and look the same,
Would you try the hottest mind *****?
Would you treat life as a game?
If I told you, be more willing,
Would you lay upon your back?
For if you wish to catch a tiger
You must offer up a snack
Would you follow the suggestions
Of a stranger you can't see?
Is that not what we're all doing,
To fit in with society
