Social Hierarchy


It's funny We let what we do,say,and wear Define us That's not what matters We are our actions,our desires,our words We lead lives that allow us to hide We hide because we're scared Scared of what others may think What they will do So we cower away and fake it It's petty But we all do it. It's a vicious world we live in A dog eat dog world But the world should be afraid Because the world knows we have the power If we are ourselves we can change it All of it How society sees us,our friends,and ourselves Fear is just four letters Four letters that we let stand in the way of what we want It's our world We are the future of tomorrow All it takes is us to forget it all The cool clothes,hottest guy or girl,and popularity Because it won't matter in the end The only thing that will Is the experiences we took away from it all The memories that will be with us forever It doesn't matter now It won't matter 5 years from now Forget it all Stop listening to others Find your voice Be you
