Stepping out from the Pact.


Ladies,what's the deal with the style?You dress like a slut to prove you're enough,but you degrade yourself.
Fellas,$200 shoes to impress your peers, but wil that get you ahead in life?
This generation is crumbling,falling making ourselves look like fools,just so we can feel...cool.We sit and worry about opinions,when that's what life is about.
Step out from behind the glass,take a risk,maybe a jab! But come out standing up and smiling.
No more selfies with starbucks,more pictures with diplomas!
No more leggings pics!Put on your cap and gown!
Stand up tall, don't be a follower at all!
Be the leader of yourself,and lead yourself to success.
