Society by Briana Cotten

There will be times when the sun won't shine as bright

The grass won't be as green

And it will look as if the rain will never stop

But look up to see the rainbow

There will be times when the stress will pile up high

Higher than you've ever experienced

But you will get through it

There will be times when you aren't happy with yourself

Your overall attitude

How you treat others

Not doing enough for the world we live in

But make that change to fix it.

There will be times when society has become too much

Too much social media

Too much pressure

But know that you can take a break

The world isn't based off of numbers although it may seem that way

How many followers you have 

Your highest streak

How much you weigh

The number of friends you have 

What your ranking number is in school

How many likes you get

No 

Wrong

You are what you make of yourself 

Take chances 

Grow a root so strong that nothing can bring you down

Ignore the haters

Be true to yourself

Because you know that you set your own expectations

You are the holder of your destiny 

So you can either sit back and try and "fit in" 

Or 

You can take a stance 

End the societal factors that have become the "normal" 

So normal that without these things like Instagram are you even known? 

Who cares

After high school comes college 

That's the real world

Currently we are all in a bubble

Now sometimes that bubble may seem like it is going to pop

Yet just know that it will be okay

We all were put on this Earth for a purpose

So do not ruin it by trying to be someone you aren't

Stand up for what you believe in

Be brave 

When you get older you want to be able to remember 

Remember the good times 

Remember how you were the best you possible 

Nobody wants to live a life that they aren't happy with

Because that is the most important thing

Love yourself for who you are 

Embrace your crazy and everything in between

How you view yourself 

Matters so much more than how others view you

In the future they won't even matter

Once everyone goes their separate ways

You do not want to be left with nothing 

So make something of yourself 

While you still can

And just remember

You 

Are 

Amazing 

And capable of anything you set your mind to.
