In a time where fitting in
is such a crucial part of existance,
self compromise hits an all time high
and self-respect, self-awareness has died.
Why?
Where has integrity gone?
Where has acceptance gone?
Is individuality not beautiful?
x 2
(Just another pretty face
in the heaving sea of bodies)
Not you.
Not even human.
Just another mindless drone walking the path of submission.
Your eyes glazed over
and your mind numbed by years of sedation / submission.
I know that somewhere
down there beneath
that facade lies
a neglected human being.
Just begging to see
the light of day.
Just begging to know
the love of self.
Bring that beautiful complexity to the world.
Give it a new lease on life.
Burn the guidelines.
Burn the pin-ups.
Be yourself.
Not what they want you to be.
Ignore their expectations.
Ignore the lies they tell you.
Ignore your self-rejection.
Ignore them.
Be yourself.
Not what they want you to be.
Be who you are.
Know who you are.
