Dear society,
Why are you so impossible?
I can never fulfill you
No matter how much i beat myself up
I feel like i'm stuck in a zoo
Stuck in your cage
For the world to see
For you to judge
What if i just want to be myself, be me

If i feel happy being slim
You tell me i need to gain weight
That i look unhealthy
Even though i try to fill my plate

If i feel happy being being prosperous
You tell me to stop eating
To workout more
So i begin to stop feeding

I stand taller than most
on the daily you say its not attractive
As if it's something i can help
You view me as abstractive

If your life doesn't fall into place
Exactly as it should you are frowned upon
Even if your doing your best
You get talked down on

I round my life around trying to be like everyone else
It's so hard to keep up
Getting exhausted everyday following your trends
Society, why are you so corrupt?

I feel as though teens these days can relate to feeling the need of following societies standards and wanting to fit in but never happy with themselves.
