The World We Live In, Keep Your Head Up


The times I've cried, the times I've shouted, the times I've plead

Why is it that know one could hear me?!

Why is it that I am invisible to society?!

That the iconic girl is posing with a face full of make-up and a half naked body

That the amount  of likes determine your popularity

That trials go on for months, possibly making years with no set clarity

That hands are being pointed towards minority

That racisim is being brought amongst majority

That life isnt fair because of superiority

And those that are trying to live the big-shot life, so scared of inferiority

Its the world that we live in

No need to pretend

Just live your life to the fullest, only he who lives above knows when it'll end
