Thoughts

The lie called society

Fake smiles and false words

Is that what our "life" is?

Deceptive courteousy and never-good-enoughs

If only you could realize how much it hurts...

Where true beauty is shunned for the lying mask of it's doppelganger

And individuality is frowned upon

How are you supposed to be yourself when yourself is the cause of your grief?

Ugly, failure, a huge waste of space

That's all you ever know

Your pain is a joke to them

Their laughter to you is the screeching of nails on a chalkborad

But to everyone else it's the gentle chime of a bell

Is that what "life" is?

The demons of your head agree with them and push and shove to get you to that edge

Many fall victim to the lie called society

 Too late they realize that pain is an unbearably real thing

That it's one thing that can't be faked

But there is hope

A light amidst the dark

There are those who will listen

And who understand the blank space 

Who have fought with their demons and visited that edge

Please don't give in

There are more like you than you may think

I guarantee they will listen

And perhaps together we can show

This lie called society

A flame that can't be blown
