Nice To Meet You

What does it feel like to tie a noose around your own neck?
Your own survival skills are what's killing you.
Hide the eyes she doesn't like, hide the nose that obscures your sight
Social acceptability is a fallacy anyway.

Take the marker and draw on a smile
Be reliable and generous because that's what they'll love
Hide the things that make you stand out.
Humans do not appreciate reminders of what they lack.

What does it feel like to stab your own heart?
May my gifts and talents bleed out with my blood.
The things I take pride in are things that I bend over and hide
The friends they remember are the ones they step on to go up.

Barbed wire filled with desires surround me on all sides.
Be smart! Be healthy! Be kind! Be pretty!
Even those that demand you don't let others dictate your life dictate your life.
Humanity is a spidersweb of contradictions ready to drown.

In the end, we are ruled by the wishes of the people around us.

idk if this is hella deep hella cynical , poem, poetry
