So many things

To so many people

Is there a such thing

Of “All things equal”

If so

Then why the competition

Do we even listen

Or care for that matter

I like to think of it

As busy chatter

When do we get real

With how we really feel

Oh I forgot

They’ll just give us a pill

So we will just keep it all in

And pretend

To fit in

Again and again

Until the end
