I don't understand 2

I don't understand.
the need to cover wrinkles up-
they are the story of your life!

I dent understand.
the need to improve on nature-
what`s wrong with accepting, you being you?

I don't understand.
the need to change your appearance-
thinking this will change your life.

I don't understand.
being too afraid to say what's on your mind
because another might see it as stepping over the line. 

I don't understand.
when they state the number of friends they have-
but they haven`t meet many of them.

I don't understand.
why the opinion of someone you don't know-
 is so important.

I don't understand.
what the screen says-
is more important than now!

I don't understand.
your fact is more truthful-
then the real fact.

I don't understand.
when the truth contradicts your fact-
you call it fake news.

I don't understand.
when confronted with the truth
and it contradicts your facts-
you just ignore it, hoping it will 
all go away.
