Idea of Normal

woke up in a society that thrives on flaws, selling all the ways that it assures one that it can fix you--- woke up in a society that puts the thoughts in one’s head, that there is an picture of perfection that one needs to aspire to--- woke up in a society that bears no example of this thing that it says that we should all be--- woke up in a society that if you pay it enough, it will airbrush away, airbrush away, airbrush away everything & it comes up with products that you can invest in & it comes with the plastic smiles that encourage the fake, now all that one needs is to set fire to your own idea of normal (whatever comfort you could actually find) & succumb to it all, believe the lie, accept all that is told to you regarding how to be & maybe, just maybe, they’ll leave you alone.
