Thank You, Impossibly High Social Standards


Can you hear me? Are you listening? Good. I just need to say thank you Impossibly high social standards, Cookie cutter people Who try to force me Into a cookie cutter shape - A simple square, Maybe an equilateral triangle Or a perfect circle. Thank you for teaching me to question, Question what is right and what is wrong, What is and should be. Thank you for teaching me When I should ignore the unspoken rules, And when I should pay attention. Thank you for pushing me, Not to fit in, But to stand out, To accept that the standards need to change, That society needs to change. And thank you Impossibly high social standards For giving me the will power To do absolutely anything To eliminate you. Thanks, from a product of society.
