You can't see the facts and deny that behind a politely stated "hi" lies a quiet unspoken judgement on the way we speak and dress
And this infected mentality which represents our nationality provides the common misconception that we're required to impress
We spend hours on our appearance worried about what they'll think Convinced we can fix that reflection in the mirror above the bathroom sink
It's so hardnot to be sorely disappointed when you believe the flaws you tried so hard to hide are still pointed
And it doesn't matter; the number of compliments we receive when our minds demand and insist that they should not be believed.
Onward we struggle; both male and female combined Constantly in a state of civil war with our mind.Teetering on the verge of insanity just to obtain that "perfect look"When the reason for our depression is so obviously textbook
There's an often said phrase that "the whole worlds a stage" and while brought up with good intentions at the time of its conception now stands with fierce oppression denying every question about whether or not it's worth it to keep putting on the show
The girls paint their faces and everyone takes their places in a play that they didn't go and sign up to put on And when we keep lying to strangers we forget about the dangers of letting go of who we are until we're already gone
Advertising companies don't help our situation In fact they make it worse by degrading the generationTo the point where we have acquired such a low self esteem that we're willing to buy almost anything as long as it means that we'll be pretty and happy and macho and cool, looking at photoshopped girls and guys by the pool, thinking "nobody likes me because I'm ugly, not thin", or "having human emotions makes me less masculine."
How in the world have we come to this conclusion, that having these imperfections requires constant illusion?
When did we end up in a world of delusion knowing that all of this acting will lead to our seclusion?
We need to stop living in this state of delusion and realize this mask that we;re wearing is not the solution.
