It’s suffocating to live in a world
That encourages you to be yourself
But shuts you down the moment you try to.
A world that encourages you to smile more
But surrounds you with all the reasons to frown.
A world that’s filled with people lifting you up
When really all they’re doing is pulling you down.
A world that is so Pro everything
Yet anti everything and everyone.
A world that encourages growth
But gives you no means to flourish
A world that says to spread your wings and soar
But instead clips them in the bud
A world so double standard that
They don’t even realize what is double standard anymore.
