Society
It’s just a game
We were put here as toys
Meant to go insane
Labeled as girls and boys
We were put here as toys
Made to feel rejected and pathetic
Labeled as girls and boys
As a part of “God’s” aesthetic
Made to feel rejected and pathetic
We cry ourselves to sleep at night
As a part of “God’s” aesthetic
We try to conform to feel right
We cry ourselves to sleep at night
Asking what’s the point
Trying to conform to feel right
Wells in our eyes and aches in our joints
Asking what’s the point
Working so hard to end up with
Wells in our eyes and aches in our joints
With feelings so passionate
Just working so hard to end up with
Any feelings at all
With feelings so passionate
With feelings so small
Any feelings at all
Make you vulnerable
With feelings so small
You try to be discernable
Making you vulnerable
You’re meant to go insane
You try to be discernable
But it’s just a game

I chose a pantoum as the form for my poem because it is a very structured and repetative form. In a way, this references my piece's topic because I believe today's society is very structured and repeatative. I hope you enjoy my piece :)
