A Nod to Society

There are so many things I can\'t say

So many things I won\'t say. 

So many things I\'m ganna bring to my grave.

 

The people to see me at my worst did not know what came 

First

 

There was a period in my life when everybody

Only saw what I wanted them so see

I was so good 

At masking my words from sounding hurt

And better turning them into a joke

 

I always wanted someone to see through the pain where they were underneath

But that how good I became

It hurts me on how good I became at that

 

The hidden truth

In every empty space, the words I never chose to use

 

The thing I regret the most

Is the real me leaving your side 

And becoming the perfectly hand crafted life I desired

Faking me because that\'s what I thought everybody wanted to see

 

You meet those who only want you if your perfect in society\'s eye

We get trained to only love our self if we meet the standards

 

Body image

Social class

Race

Sexuality

Religion

 

If even one of those is not 

\"Right\" or \"correct\"

We get put into this small box that once your in

its very difficult to get out

 

So because of society there are things I wish I could say

But I\'m not going to

 

Thanks society

 

Sincerely,

A broken girl
