society by silvana schifano

Society has gotten the best of us;

It would be easier to be perfect, than to measure up to society's standards;

We blame society for all of our struggles in our daily lives,

But we fail to realize that we all make up society;

We need to realize that we are all human – but each of us was born differently and we

are all unique;

People go out of their day to make somebody’s day worse – as if it is the “cool” thing to do;

Everybody has flaws – it is what makes us each ourselves, it makes us all different

and makes us special;

There is no such thing as perfect – nor will there ever be – and we need to stop pointing out every little

imperfection – and love ourselves for who we are;

The day we stop criticizing ourselves – A day when we will find happiness in our lives, in our hearts,

And happiness within ourselves.
