The Consequence of Existing


Lighten up, catch a smile.
You look unapproachable, shoulders back,
chin up, spine straight,
your weakness is glaring.
Have some confidence, 
walk with pride, 
put some damn bass in your voice.
Eye contact, pose for pictures.
Fix your hair, take off the jacket,
it makes you look insecure.
What is wrong with you?

Do you even care for your looks?
Is it that hard to put some jewelry on?
Spritz some smell good after your shower,
What is wrong with you?
Have some fun, you\'re such a pessimist.
Maybe if you stopped caring about how you look,
you could focus on the positive.
Oh but no, go change; what are you wearing?
Put some effort, be attractive.
Seek extroversion, go out there.
Live your life; just... not like that.
