Blurred
Do you think it will ever end?
Thoughts swarm her head
She tries to stop but she cannot
“You aren’t good enough” they said.
“Stop trying so hard” they jeer
She no longer glistens
“Why are you so quiet?” they ask
“Because no one listens”
“You should be more unique”
“Stop standing out”
She’s never been more confused
She wants to scream and shout
Why doesn’t it make sense?
Should she pretend?
She doesn’t know what to do
Society, will it ever end?
