Success is a numbers game,
You are successful if you are rich,
Richness is power,
And power costs money,
Which is decided with numbers.
You are society's definition of perfect,
If you wear a size 0,
If you're less than 130 pounds,
As if the numbers that you wear,
And the numbers that you weigh,
Are the true judgments of perfection,
Of your character.
Life is based on numbers that are hardly attainable.
We don't count the smiles we share,
The tears we shed,
The important moments on this earth.
We don't count the hearts we break,
The hearts we mend,
The friends we make.
We are so focused on the numbers society has stuck in our minds,
As if money and looks are the only important parts of life.
They aren't.
Life is numbers,
But you get to decide which matter to you.
