Here's to Tomorrow


Happy girl-

fake girl

Sad girl

attention seeker

Goody-goody

 teacher's pet

 

The rebel

"What a freak show"

Laughing girl

"Why don't you take anything serious"

Crying girl

melodramatic girl

 

The girl that sleeps around

The girl that doesn't have a single suitor

The shutter of the camera

The beep of a social media post

What isn't public, isn't real

What's real, isn't public

If it's not uploaded, it isn't experienced

 

Quick to judge

Quick to give snide comments

Never quick enough to help

Never quick enough to know the truth

 

We are labeled fro being too much

as they try to tear us down

We are labeled for being too little

as they criticize

We are ostracized by society

then society asks why we don't try to fit in

A world full of hypocrites

A world full of humans

 

I guess that's just how it is

Not good enough-

Try again

A million hurdles

A million chances to rise above

 

Human, each and everyone of us

No gender

No race

No language barrier

Here's to a new world 

No closed minds

No false first impressions

Just love, peace, and happiness

Tolerance

Here's to humans working together for a better tomorrow
