Society says "be yourself",

So I do just that

Then society says, "no, not like that, that's not how you should act"

So I change myself to match the image society imagines

Society says "everyone is beautiful, it doesn't matter what you look like",

So I love myself for who I am

Society says "no, that's not right, you have to look like a super small model to be beautiful."

So I change myself for others

Society says "You can be whatever you want when you're older."

So I continue to dream

But society says, "wait a minute, you want to be in a male dominant industry, you have to work three times as hard then."

So I stop dreaming

Society says...

No, I say, "we need to open our eyes. Society has so many impossible standards and invisible rules."

Society says...

No, I say, "we should stop listening to what society tells us."
