Never Mind the Reception
How many times will you stop acting free
Just to please a perspective?
Always on the lookout for that peculiar spectator,
confining life to be so subjective.
Indulging in such a slender code of morality.
Even a wild youth is tied to the principles of an unbecoming age.
Sharing the social state of make believe tranquility.
A shallow mind consumes all and thrusts life into a daze
But still no one to realize life is too short for all these ordeals.
Every minute detail too irrelevant yet judged.
All the aspects of a fragile life lost to the worlds ideals.
So never mind the reception, then maybe the cornerstones of civilization will budge.
