Society Kills

Society kills.
Death happens annually. Monthly. Weekly. Daily.
Every hour our cruel world loses a beautiful soul who couldn't handle society as well as they wanted to.
Their minds fill with negativity as they grow.
All they see is,
'Look like this'
'Look like that'
'Act like this'
'Act like that'
Life doesn't come with instructions on how to live YOUR life.
It just doesn't work that way.
It's up to you, up to you to learn who you want to be. On your own.
Society is filled with flawed human beings.
And it's funny because those flawed people are the ones wanting to be the image society has pictured, yet they're the society.
They're creating a false image of what society looks like, acts like.
They want to be the way they picture themselves to be.
But,
They're like that on the inside.
What you want to be on the outside is just a vessel of true feelings from the inside.
Society has blinded us from seeing that.
Understanding that.
Society has created a facade, illusions of the real world.
Illusions they created that hide the fact that everyone struggles under society no matter how happy they seem.
No matter how perfect they look.
Everyone is struggling to fight themselves.
And every hour, pressure falls upon a poor helpless soul to be 'perfect'
They can't take the pressure.
The only solution they know is the one society has created in order to be free from society.
Society kills.
