Dear Humanity,

I’ve been trying to fit in my whole life Self-imposed my own strife wishing to overwrite my life with something nice but I just keep running on the wheel of life with a bunch of mice I’ve been trying to fit in, find the light Honestly, This is all a joke, I'm done faking polite doing what's right, fighting the fight to end all plight Fighting the fight only plightens the plight hardens the strife Deepens the knife and turns it to the right all because we think we know whats right we act like we know what's best for them but do we know what's right for us? No, we lost sight I’ve been trying to fit in for so long Forcing myself to do what feels wrong Listening to the thong song, hit the long bong Play along and act strong Just to prolong the life long theme song of “I don’t belong, but let me see your thong thong thong thong ” I’ll just stop singing along with the throng of prongs There is nothing wrong with thinking with your dong But do you want long term fulfillment or Yesssssssss…now what? Cigarette? Emptiness? That’s why I was depressed because I was trying to fit in with a world full of regret Humanity feeling like they are always in debt, but have you ever checked Why you do what you do and what gets you through And how whatever you believe comes true for you Not enough? Everyone suck? Life is tough? Here you go, would you like fries with that too It's no surprise that it's true the one creating the blame is you the shame's from you The creator of the game is you The only one you can change is you You change you and the world around you changes too Try to change the world around you first then it gives you a clue That there is room for growth within you I began to change from within when I asked one question Why am I trying to fit in? Only because I never became my own friend Only to hide that I wanted life to end Only, so now I can show you what life is like when you never have to pretend
