In a World Based On Vision
Why is it that we allow opinions and criticism to confine us?
Billboards, magazines, images and ideals to define us?
Remarks with our reflections
Compiling a catalogue of flaws
Binging, Purging to become thin
Comparing ourselves to illusions thus we never win.
Standards and expectations,
Pulling us down
Hands clasped together
Avoiding their frowns
Their judgements, their opinions on who or what we should be
As we're all growing in the same society.
Photoshopped models, with gaps between their thighs
Agencies and industries,
Feeding the youth with lies.
They play on our minds, until we believe the headlines
A network of needles
Underneath a scalpel and knives.
Walking on a thin line of what is natural and crafted,
Contouring, sculpting and concealing confidence
Cringing at our bare face
If in this world of projection we feel no place.
It's a world based on vision
That makes us feel such division
To apply our make-up with pure precision.
But truth be told differences were created to be accepted
Perceptions were always our own decision.
The world is and has always
The world is and has always been, a dirty place – full of dirty games. The question is, to be a part of it or not, and to what degree?
Truth is subjective
Peeling back the layers to discover what lies beneath the masks we all wear. Is it to hide ourselves so we can blend in? Or mearly so others don't feel alone as they desperately clutch for recognition in the annals of social acceptence and trend setters. The irony being they have already been forgotten. Keep penning, your head is full of good ideas.
this is not the end, this is not the begining of the end, this is merely the end of the begining.
:D
That's a good point and thank you ^_^ that encourages me to continue writing!
If you want to dress up like a giraffe, and go to school like that, and that makes you happy then do it!

That's true, they want the world to operate in a certain way, but sometimes we should see beyond what society wants or the need to change and towards what we want. Thanks :)
