It seems in society today



There is only one way:



"If you think you can succeed,



You can change things forever.



But, if you can be defeated,



You won't even be remembered."



So, I propose a new way



Another sudden lifestyle change



Without "SWAG" or "YOLO" for



What do those even mean anymore?



I've decided to make my own way



To make these rules a thing of yesterday



And even you can help



How? JUST BE YOURSELF!



Society puts so much pressure



Into being beautiful and better



They provide us the tools



To follow or break the rules



Yet, we don't break down these walls



Since we're addicted to watching people fall



If we try, we can work together for true peace



A little love and tenderness is all we really need



Tolerance doesn't mean "accept my beliefs or else"



It's more of a cry out for anybody help



Anybody that's ever wanted to reach a goal



But knew they couldn't do it on their own



Try to exceed the expectations



And rebuild our lost, fallen nation



It all starts when you can't take it anymore



When following the rules becomes a chore



So, we grip the edges



And expand our fences



Until sooner or later



We silence the debaters



And shed light a brighter today



Because apparently, that's the ONLY way



War only occurs if there's a disagreement



So let's use trust as our sealant



A perfect bind



For all mankind



But, unfortunately, I DO know

I can't do this if I'm alone

So tell me honestly:

Are you with me?
