Welcome to our society

where every flaw is frowned upon

where there is high expectations

Our society expects everyone to live up to them.

Welcome to our society

where everyone ignores those

who are just trying to make it

You see the 16 year old boy 

in your class?

he keeps to himself

everyone thinks he's emo

when he's coping with the loss of his mother

A drug overdose took her life.

You see the 17 year old girl on the street

giving herself away to survive

everyone calls her a skank, whore, slut, a bitch

So quick to judge our society is known for.

That girl has been fighting her whole life

grew up fatherless her mother a drug addict.

At 15 raped by her stepfather

A mother at 16.

Out on the street just trying to live.

Our society so fucked up.

Everyone blind to see the pain behind the mask

Everyone expects the next person to be a perfect person.

How fucked up can that get?

To the grieving teenage boy the teen mother and to those suffering in silence

Listen,

You are not alone

there is beauty behind pain

You can not allow society tell you how to live

You are stronger than you realize

You are perfect for who you are!

and if anyone tells you different you tell them to FUCK OFF.

Your life is a flower quickly fading here today gone tomorrow

Your life is precious live it like you are dying.

You may think there is no hope

Let me tell you, there is

In our bitter society you need to keep you head high

You are loved

You are worthy

Don't let society define you.
