Resigned to what ‘they’ say
Floating on opinions of the masses
Through rough waters with skewed navigation
Rudderless ships lacking direction
At the mercy of the ocean’s tide
Hardly noticing shifts in current
Until suddenly they capsize
Timid sheep follow the flock
Into the depths of the wolves den
Sleepwalking spirits afraid to break free
Choking on their questions
Malnourished backbones
Fracture under weight to conform
If only for the reason
That it is all they’ve ever known
Slaves to trends and fashion
Breathing life into stereotypes
“Men are dogs”- “Women are superficial”
Raping individuality
Living Cookie- Cutter lives
It is easier to generalize
And meeker
And weaker
To just follow the masses
