I believe in the evil that is society.

The idea tht if you're not ookie-cutter, you're not beautiful

The peer pressure that builds every day

The unfair treatment of those undeserving of it

The undeniable amount of greed

Taking all they can, giving nothing back, mocking you always.

 

But the belief that you are not able to push back from

All of this insanity kills me bit by bit.

 

I believe in individuality.

I believe in the diamond-in-the-rough.

I believe in power to overcome anything with

Strength, determination, and fearlessness.

 

And I believe that somewhere in this wasteland, someone

Is going to be willing to challenge unjust beliefs, and fight

For who we are; the imperfect.
