Perception
‘Life is hard,’ they tell me
‘But enjoy it to its fullest.’
Be who you want to be,
But only as long as you fit our standards
Everyone is beautiful,
But some only on the inside
Ethnicity doesn’t matter,
As long as you’re white
All genders are equal,
But men are better
We accept you for who you are,
But if you’re different you’re going to hell
Our love is unwavering,
As long as you are exactly the same
Creativity is important,
But everyone must think alike
Intelligence isn’t important,
But you’re too stupid to pass
Stand up for yourself!
But if you do you’re a bitch
Men and women can be friends,
But only if it’s for sex
POCs are people too,
But don’t forget they’re dangerous
We live in a world,
That is ruled by standards
Different is bad,
Unless everyone else says otherwise
If you believe one thing,
But the majority another,
Then you go with the flow,
Or else be cast out
In this society of hypocrites
Say one thing,
Do another
Promise everything
Give them nothing
