We live in a judgemental society Where the real you is only abstract. From a young age we are taught to believe That only society can define how you act.
From the moment we enter the world We are forced to sign a contact. Torn away from freedom of opinion We begin our journey with no way back.
Beauty overrules personality Money defines your future Being intelligent is a crime And standing out makes you a loser.
The paths you choose to follow Always end the same. There is no way to escape society Because we all have been chained.
People are ridiculed for being happy But called weak when sad. We dare not share our views For we’d be labelled as mad.
We live in a judgemental society Where no one seems to win. Forced to be someone society defines, The real you fades within.
This poem is about the way people judge us for who we are and what we do.
