To be loved in our teenage society,

you have to drink, party, no sobriety,

be pretty, thin, no variety,

lots of friends, loved entirely.

There's a problem with this structure,

to be accepted is the new culture,

one of these days, the system will rupture,

and every day i can't help but wonder,

wouldn't it be better, if instead of copying our peers,

we stop utterly living in fear?

Why worry about how we appear,

when it just causes angst and tears?

Teenagers like to point out others flaws,

do they think it's cool, or deserves applause?

In our society, there are no boundries, no laws,

why do people even critisize at all?

Your highlighted flaws chip away at your mind,

eat at your being, right to the rind,

all of a sudden, you're misaligned,

no way to un-see your flaws now defined.

But what if you woke up one day at age 65,

your dreams were thrown away, you never even tried

you never thought you coult thrive,

or maybe you thought you just couldn't survive,

you never swam because of your jiggly thighs,

you never told him how you felt, scared of being denied,

you didn't enter the competition because you wouldn't win the prize.

Well life's not about the prizes you win,

it's not about being thick or thin,

it's not about the shade of your skin,

it's not about where you've been.

My little sister's entering highschool with ease,

I'm scared she'll care about how she's perceived,

I dont want her to be pressured and teased,

white-girl-syndrome spreads like a disease.

Spread your wings from all those girls,

it's not actually cool to drink until you hurl,

At your fingertips is the whole wide world,

life's a sail for you to unfurl.

Society and trends are always changing,

keeping up with this gets frustrating,

it was around this time when my friends started fading,

so i learned to love instead of hating.

Why dont you do what makes YOU happy?!

Find your passion instead of feeling crappy,

be more zesty, assert integrity!

Because you are exactly where you need to be.

Feeling loved is the best feeling ever,

so love yourself and you'll feel even better.

Now join me on my new endeavor,

to see clearly and come together!

Take chances, have heart, be visionary!

for te creatures of the commonplace and slaves of the ordinary.

And remember, being "good enough" is all imaginary.

Be daring, be different, be impractical!

This is YOUR time, so make it magical.
