Society

You can be free,

But not too free.

You can say what you want,

But here’s the script you need to read from.

You have your own thoughts and opinions,

But only what we implant.

Society tries so hard to form us.

They want us to be what they want us to be.

There is no freedom inside our heads.

So we transform ourselves every day.

Stop listening to the voices.

Stop staring at those pictures.

The celebrities you admire

Are nothing more than zombies.

Decide for yourself who you want to be,

How you want to dress,

Who you want to love.

Its fine with me and it should be for you.

Happiness should be enough.

Society is too mindless to understand originality,

So stand up and show them.

Be truly free.
