Questions

What are we?

 When we don’t be ourselves? 

Pretenders? 

But if that is so why do we pretend to be something we’re not? 

Is it easier to pretend to be someone else? Is it easier to hide under a mask? 

To hide our pain our feelings so that we are not judged by society itself? 

But why is that? 

Why can’t society accept us for who we are?

We all are perfectly imperfect aren’t we?

Why is everything we do based on society? 

Why do people change their looks? 

so that other’s can find them appealing? Why do we say beauty is pain?

Why do we have to work ourselves?

Or get Surgery done?

Just to be considered “beautiful”

When beauty is natural and comes from within?

Why do people always show less interest in people when they are doing better then them? 

When are people going to start being supportive of their friends or family success? 

But that is a question that will possibly remain a question because it’s probably never gonna happen, right?

But only time will tell

How come when people come out of the closet about who they are or who their not why is it hard for people to just support them? 

Why instead of supporting them they make them an outcast or harm them with their words?

Is being who you are a crime? 

If so why aren’t we arrested?

Put behind bars?

Arrest me, put me behind bars but I will not surrender myself to society’s judgement for I am who I am for I am great, right?

If that is to be so why are people so quick to

Judge you?

Doubt you? 

Whether they know you or not 

Why is that?

I guess we’ll never know, huh?
