Society


During the time when I was trying to find my self-identity within society,

I thought about what being cool meant to me. 

So I tried to fake myself to create a self-identity. 

 

But then my friends started to leave me slowly,

Limiting myself to a smaller group of necessities.

I realized who I truly am and became what I really wanted. 

 

I was introduced to new people who made me comfortable with being myself, 

I then realized that I did not have to fake myself to be accepted in society.

 

I did not have to try to fit in, like the stereotypical society 

That I used to fake my own reality.  

 

It is, I, myself, who is reality in society.
