Mistake

I know it means nothing, 

But on my worst days 

It means everything

Such a simple mistake

That you're scared to show

Because of the expectations in society

That we fear

And they wonder why 

Anxiety and depression are

On the rise

Each morning we wake up 

And stress over not having the latest trending clotes and footwear

What do you mean

You don't know why mental health

Is on the rise?

When girls struggle to pick out outfits,

Guys struggle to be "fit" enough

The society outside

Allows you to be yourself, 

But you must follow 

Certain guideline

And unwritten rules.
