In this world
We are told how to act.
We are told how to speak.
We are told how to look.

In this world
We are told what is acceptable.
We are told what to wear.
We are told what to eat.

In this world
Everyone seems miserable.
Everyone seems lonely.
Everyone seems poor.

In my world
We are told how to think for ourselves.
We are told what we have always wanted to hear.
Everyone seems wanted.
