Dear society,

To whom has said these things: "Keep your head high", "Don't let them get you down", "Always smile bright". You haven't felt the tears stream, The pain linger, The heart ache. To whom has said: "Act your age", "Keep your eyes on the prize", "Focus on your studies". You haven't felt the urge to fight, The urge to scream, The urge to cry out from anger. To act one's age is to pretend, To not to let them get you down is to lie, To focus on your studies alone is to run, To always smile bright is to hide. Here's the truth: "Take your own advice", "Learn to not hide", "March to the beat of your own drum".
