Jaded

I believe that I thrive best
in a pool of creativity
and it's up to me
to be the best that
I can be
I want to live in  
a world that
makes sense to me
and this one
clearly upsets me
 
I met someone recently
who said that no one
cares about a person's
insides anymore
and how the only
thing that matters
is how one looks
I said that was sad but
I was one of the people
that actually really cared
 
the part that
breaks my heart is
that these words
about the world
were spoken by
an eleven year old school boy
how have we failed our children
and are we really  
that superficial a society?
