Society Travesty


I'm walking down the hall

I'm not a adult yet

but this stress on my chest

making my hands sweat

Kinda nauseated its not

the first day yet

 

Pressures to have sex

Pressures to properly fit in

Society travesty to have

such great looks and to fit in

Society travesty to smoke weed

do pills

whatever the cheap thrill

 

 its hard when you

carefully plan things

at this age your own peers

try hard to disown you

I don't want to die

Before I reach 25
