Our world

Before we can stand,
We are shot down
We live in a world where being unique
Is synonymous with being weak.
And in this world,
that number you got on that one test,
dictates what you can do for the world.
Where that number on the scale
Needs to stay behind the standard line
Where people of wealth
Automatically have a higher standing
Where your sex organs are constantly being questioned.
A world where love is defined
We live in a world filled with hate
Brimming over,
Wars fought,
Lives lost
All because we care more about everyone being the same
Instead of being their own person
This is the world we live in,
Let that reality sink in
