Be yourself,
not what everyone else is.
You see, as humans we are selfish.
Until it comes to swag,
then when all wanna be selfless as
we place ourselves on these shelves
like shellfish
allergies we swell.
Thinking that these fabrications, they will sell
with the fabric in which we dwell we
costume our identities as we
consume the snacks that
society sneaks us.
Beneath color coded wrappers, primed to please us, we’ve
failed to see the way our securities have breeched us.
No trust
can exist if
we cannot trust ourselves
to be ourselves, how
can we trust one another?
