Blank line

What do I do

How do I act

What is going to leave a good impression

Tell me what to do

Tell me what you like

What looks better on me

Tell me what to do

Do I need to be brash

Am I way too shy to be around

Tell me how to act

Do you want me to laugh at your jokes

Is it cool when I sit in my own loud silence

Tell me how to act

Is it wrong to be myslef

Should I paint a picture of what you want me to be over my naked face

Leave a good impression

Am I good enough for them to notice

Do I deserve your positive feedback

Leave a good impression

Do you prefer a firm handshake

What does my voice projection sound like to you

Perfection

What is the true meaning of a word that could never be achieved by a judgmental human race

Projection

What is the correct way to display our false characteristics to the vast amount of perfections that others have made a requirement in order to build a relationship with them

Reflection

There needs to be a definition for looking in the mirror and purposely seeing everything that you AREN'T

Stripped of who we are and what we want

Forget all of the dreams you have

When you came to this society you were given a white t-shirt with a blank line and a marker

The one rule in this society is that you are only allowed to write on someone else's shirt

Society will define you

But there is a loop-hole

Nobody said that you had to wear that t-shirt

So are you going to run naked, or are you going to put that t-shirt on?
