"i'd rather die while living than live while i'm dead"Jimmy Buffett.

We are so structured,

to follow the culture,

and do things accordingly,

maintaining a perfect picture,

without consideration of what we want.

Which makes us similar to the walking dead,

who are led by their appetite to feed,

on their prey leaving them to bleed,

as they move on to the next flesh,

never getting satisfied or content.

Living without a purpose,

doing things habitually,

instead of out of service,

going with the majority,

forgetting our individuality.

Coz standing out makes you a target,

as people dont like those who are different,

so you mellow out yourself to fit in with the rest,

wearing a mask live everyone else,

To avoid being secluded or worse exiled.

Then create a fake profile online,

to act like you are fine,

leading to endless depression,

as you let the world define,

who you are and confine you in a box.

This is a prison of own making,

as our creativity is slowly dying,

while we embrace the norm,

and leave no room for growth,

forsaking young talent for tiresome routines.

But we can all be free,

of the worlds inhibitions,

and fear of being judged,

if we all just lived our true authentic lives,

we could make the world a place we all could fit in.
