Ode To Society

May 15, 2013

Society, Society, Society It whispers in my ear Leaves it stings And never fails Using me as its target Its destructive but elusive magazines Its "Oh You Can Be Her" attitude Seducing you with the images of naturally skinny girls Destroying our already beautiful bodies Gross Oh Society whispers in fact it yells Republicans verse Democrats The House failed to pass another bill And Obama is just black what does he know The whole shebang Abortions don't sacrifice a human life. And to be gay, well your just born that way In God we trust, well thats a not what we want. So lets just take it away. Oh how it hollers. This society. To be fat is disgusting. To be to thin makes you anorexic. And well to open your legs by accident.. That just makes you a girl who can't keep her legs closed. Oh society can you tone it down a bit. Its buzzing, its hurting, I can't no longer hear. Talks so much, I can't shed a tear. Oh stupid society. Don't you see what you've done.

My Name is Amina. Simple, Plain, and Different. I've been walking the Earth a total of 20 years. I don't know everything. I never follow fashion trends. I tend to instead set my own. People usually have dumb misconceptions of me. I'm generally nice, and only mean when I have to be. I don't follow everybody's expectations of me. I pretty much fail at pleasing people. I am no where near perfect. But for me that's okay. Being un perfect makes me who I am. I make mistakes everyday, but I learn from them. I love to meet new people. People just generally interest me. As long as you give me respect, you'll get it.
