Beauty.
Male.
Female.
Normal.

It makes me sad how beauty has begun to fall.
More than corrupted,
higher than fake.
I start wondering if fake is beautiful nowadays.

Fake is not lovely.
Fashion is not your life,
Keep up with the makeup that you do not need
And i can guess where you'll be. Liar.

"You have to have muscle"
"You gotta like sports."
"You have to like girls!"
I can name 5 guys who disagree.

"You have to wear dresses!"
"You need to have long hair."
"You can only date guys."
I can't agree with that.

There are lots of us out there.
Differences are what we're made for.
I want to change so badly, and so do lots of others.
Do we really want future generations to be like us?

No.
We want creative, artistic, daring.
Kind, passionate, having someone to wipe your tears.
We have this big idea about the future, so why are we still letting these go against us?

Standards.
We can be many things.
'Normal' is not one i would want to be.
I can guess you wouldn't either.

Well good news,
We're already defying them.
