Society is filled with contradictions aimed to tell you how to be, whether you like it or not.
Differing expectations
Silent revelations
Of the girl who almost made it
But was forced to submit.
“Not all of them are bad you see,”
But I can’t say the same for you and me
As we all must know the status quo
Convert your heart and let it go.
Apples and oranges, pears and peaches.
Yellows and greens, blues and browns.
About one hundred and seventy-nine million differences,
Yet only one variable fits.
Yes, that’s right
Just not like that,
I said do it like this
Surely you get the gist.
You should be honest and true
You should understand your own value
You should remain docile in his presence
You should not ever break your silence.
Because it does not matter what you do
Your words will be edited
And your actions misinterpreted
Because it's not about what you meant
Only what he chooses to see.
Contradictions are nothing new,
Only the faces- foul words they spew.
The agenda still has not changed,
All your morals are rearranged.
The flashing lights and moving image
Her smile desperately hides a grimace.
It's a man's world
You're merely living in it.
