We would **** for the things we don’t have
Even if it meant hurting ourselves
And yet
We hate many of the things
That we already have.

Killing for thinness
Even if it means starving ourselves
Just to satisfy society.
But what does it mean
In the grand scheme of things?
Nothing, nothing at all.

Society burns us like the devil
Weighs and holds us down as an anchor.
All the things we do
Just to satisfy society.
But why?

It means absolutely nothing.
Nothing to ourselves.
And only concerns those closest to us.
We only do it for one reason alone,
To satisfy society.

But in reality
What does society matter
Besides trying to ruin the lives of others.
Shouldn’t being happy with ourselves be enough
Or must we pacify those we don’t
Nor will we ever know.

Society burns like the devil
And weighs us down like an anchor
And yet not a single person
Believes in their own self.
