Society decides who we are
And who we are able to be.
Society decides who belongs
and who will be seen as “normal”.
Society decides the actions we take
And the paths we make for our futures.
Society decides the right
And wrong way to live.
I believe people change themselves
to fit in with this idea of normal.
We organize our people
Into groups of “us vs them”.
We identify those on their side,
Determining a clear team and common enemy.
Isolation is a form of protection
That will cause a civil war within.
Society cannot decide who we are
And who we are able to be.
Society cannot decide who belongs
and who will be seen as “normal."
Society cannot decide the actions we take
And the paths we make for our futures.
There is no right
or wrong way to live.
