Society talks
and it’s difficult not to hear
due to an innate intrusion of fear
of what might be
and if it’s ok
if we don’t listen
to what they say.
Society talks
but it’s often wrong…
its principles are oppressive,
its values not strong…
because its occupants are greedy
but that’s not me,
or at least I’m trying not to be.
Society talks
and it tells us to obey
a path that’s been arranged
for assured success today;
but why can’t they see
we have the ability
to establish our own destiny?
Society talks,
but try not to listen.
Believe in your potential
and you’ll see what they’re missing.
Embrace each
opportunity to be yourself
and establish a life that breeds internal wealth.
