Welcome to the society
We hope you enjoy your stay
You are free to be yourself
As long as it is in the right way
We would pity you if you lose
Ignore you when you win the crown
We would bully you for smiling
Then ask you why you frown
You have to believe what we say
Even if we call a day a night
You are free to have your own thoughts
If we deem it to be right
You have to abide by our rules
You can’t make up your own
If you don’t follow them, we promise
Pain will seep into your skin to your bone
Your clothing should be of our choice
It can’t be short,long,bright or dull
If you wear any of these
With insults we’ll grind your skull
You cannot be too happy
Nor can you be too sad
You have to be just the right mixture
Happy and a tinge of sad
There is one universal rule
Bind it with your sleeve
Once you enter the society, mind it
You can never ever leave
This was something I wrote way back, thought of sharing it again as it makes much more sense to me right now
Hope you like it. Have a great day!
(Inspired by E.H)
Nice poem, I liked the way in which you expressed the idea of freedom with terms and conditions,which is the essence of today’s society 🙂

That is so true
Perhaps the answer to this lies in how we have lost touch with how things naturally are and maybe we don’t really empathise

Akshita dear I love this. I LOVE THIS SO MUCH. I don’t know I guess I feel this way about people – like just random people – human beings. That they’ll mould me into something else I won’t like and I can’t satisfy both the society and myself simultaneously so it’s like this choice that I have to make and it’s hard – and it hurts .

Then ask you why you frown” this line 💯💯💯
