Sometimes I forget

How easy it was to say hello to a stranger

But now that childish naïveté is gone

It’s over

As children the world was a playground

And we were meant to be wild

Nothing holding us back

No rules to abide

But now social media

Dominates it all

And more than we worry about our future

We wonder what everyone thinks of us

I didn’t think friends were supposed to be this hard

Jealousy prevails

Over the smallest things

And we judge one another

To hide our fear to fail

We can’t appreciate one another

Though deep inside we want to

We’re all so lonely

But crowded in the same room

If im being honest

I’m so frightened

That even one of my smallest actions

Will cause you to make me an outcast

I don’t fit in

And I tell myself I don’t want to

But each night when I go to sleep

It’s the one thing I want, deep deep within

We are broken pieces

And we’re broken together

But we refuse to mend each other

Put out broken parts together

I think a lot of girls I know

Go to sleep on a tear stained pillow

And though I never though it’d be me

I do too

And then I wonder

What happened to them for them to cry

Why can’t we all just cry and console each other

But that’s social suicide, asking someone who’s not your friend

If they’re doing ok

This map of relationships we try to keep

Is nothing short of a fucking twisted maze

(I don’t know if this makes sense, but it’s a lot of thoughts crammed in my head. I gues what I tried to describe was the complete social grouping, and the way we try our best to fit with the status quo?)
