Society

~~

What the fuck is with this society,

pressuring men to fight and women

to delight? What the fuck is wrong with

this world? Pushing refugees away as if they

have any other place to stay. What the fuck is wrong

with these people? Electing white power into the

White House is certainly not the answer.

I stand up for what I believe...

but I believe we're all fucking doomed.

I shouldn't assume.

Death would probably be the better

of the two.

This society is cruel,

you'll never meet the standards.

You'll never be good enough, you.

You are not skinny enough.

You are not smart enough.

You are not strong enough.

You are not pretty enough.

You are not cool enough.

You are not funny enough.

You don't put out enough.

We are never enough in a society this tough.

This society is cruel.

I'll leave this one for now,

I'll go ahead and take a bow.

You must have learned, at least somehow,

that this society marks all systems down.
