What Society Says

A note for youngsters
Which has voice of youth embedded
To take the charge positively
To uncover hijackers of our dreams

We try to cooperate with
invisible Society’s play
We say we are grateful
Society tags egoism then and there

We try to be patient
Society calls us desperate
We run behind our passion
Society pulls back to stay

We show emotions, no matter cry or laugh
Society says crazy, or sympathy seekers why?
We lock our emotions no expressions in sight,
Society says we are heartless, selfish – which is not right

Society can be orthodox
Shackled we with narrow thoughts
We in cage of boundaries
Losing existence every day and night

When we decide to do, whatever heart says;
Feeling excited about, what parents will say;
When shared with parents, no smile or proudest rays;
One thought they care for; What society will say;

Where does this society exist?
Who says so much every day?
Why are we possessed, when society is just nowhere?
We need to take charge of being kind and fair.
