Society


There are so many problems going on today that we fail to realize what's going 
on deep within us. 
We often seek some type of approval  by people that wouldn't give us the time of 
day.
We change our beliefs and ourselves just to be accepted in a place we don't 
belong. 
Society is a cruel and ruthless place that many get lost in the desire for its 
approval.
People go to extreme measures to change who they once were. 
With the stress going on in our daily lives the last thing we need is to be 
judged by our looks or beliefs.
Society is what makes a person wanted or rejected and the sad truth is many of 
us are in the reject pile. 
Society has us in the palm of their hand manipulating us anyway it pleases. 
If it tells us to jump we'll end up saying how high.
It's a sad day when another falls victim to the constant bullying we call 
society.
Society puts you down but it does not keep you there. 
You yourself are your worst enemy. 
Society may never go away but you can decide to stand up to it and be yourself. 
Because although society is cruel and manipulative you will never know how to 
stand up to yourself unless your faced with its challenges. 
There's no better feeling than wearing your head up high with a smile across 
your face showing society that it has not won and never will. 
Be Yourself Be Proud of Who You Are Because If You Don't Appreciate Yourself No 
One Will.
