Society


I eat so now I'm fat

somedays I decide not to eat

now I'm a freak

 

I wear makeup now I'm slutty

Somedays I don't want to wear makeup

then I'm ugly

I'm right then I'm wrong

 

I read but then you call me a nerd

so I stop and become stupid

whenever I let someone in

it falls back on me

I'm easy

but when I say no

I'm suddenly too uptight

then I'm wrong

 

I drink just a little so now I'm an alcholic

and if I don't drink than I'm afriad

'friends' will think less of me

 

Society can never shut up

 

I'm right then I'm wrong

you can't please anyone

but if we could change

just one thing

 

one thing to make us a little less mean

I'd change the message to acceptance  

and let our hearts free
