#societal hypocrisy

[abandoned-as-mustard]

A nice girl I follow on Instagram happens to be a trump supporter, but when she admitted it, the comment section blew up with unfriendliness. I don't like trump, but if you bully someone for supporting them, you are a hypocrite. End of story.

The Cracked Mirror

Wake up every morning and life’s sky is fogged over

Step on the scale and each number is a grenade

This cruel world united in a disgusting chant

Females unite!

Eat that skimpy sliver of a salad- every last bite!

Males rise!

Drink this blended mushy shit called a protein shake

Then we’re slammed onto our backs

Caught by colorful expenses of junk that serve as snacks

Lifting colossal weights, crushing both energy and spirit

Shaking hips like turntables and showing assets like obvious targets

Hissing venomous whispers of “make your skin shiny and sterile”

No hair allowed anywhere, except royally styled upon your head

Be curvy, be skinny, be strong, be fragile

I might as well be dead if I’m prohibited from being myself

Be heterosexual and be able to move your body like this

Know exactly what your career is and have money

Or else you’re worth nothing

Be a bitch with class

Can’t find love unless you’re an attractive jackass

Be the spitting image of anyone on a contorted magazine

And remember that every little flaw is an ugly puzzle piece

Make sure you keep every emotion fake

They say “oh, it’s totally fine if you give up and break”

As long as you don’t challenge our robotic standards

One day, I’ll wake up and look in that jagged mirror

Study every imperfection and think “hey, this is beautiful”

Fill up with positivity

And not give a flying fuck or damn what anyone thinks

In the end, I deserve to be proud and unique

And they’re just a lonely, evil, and bitter society
