Society Killed Me

Society killed me

Strip me bare until all was left was bone

No one heard me moan as their words sliced into my flashed

They skinned me until my carcass is all that remain

Their expectation destroyed my humanity

All that was left is this fragile blob that all want to configure

Society killed me

They stretched me in all directions as I tried to fit in

All wanted a piece they tore me till I was no more

I gazed at the mirror what gazed back was the empty shell

An empty shell that supports no life

I wanted to run as society tore me to shreds but I was weak

They programmed uniformity until no individual was visible

Society killed me

A robot took my place

Yes Ma’am, Yes Sir is all I can say

I cannot argue for the things I do

For the things I do are not mine 

I’ve been programmed to follow the commands of conformity

Programmed to be a docile body that follows instruction at whim

Society killed my individuality

It killed my creativity

It destroyed every notion to question my existence

All that remain is a shell that is easily control

Society killed me
