Don't Worry, it's Just Pretend.

The most I could ever ask is for you to give the world a chance before you cast it away,
unimpressed
with the way that it pretends to be like the lives you see on the t.v.
Is it too hard to take a breath, and use your legs to venture out into the open air?
Is it too much to ask for you to use your voice to speak your own thoughts,
instead of those you hear spoken to you?
The most I could ever ask of myself is to give up the world for a chance for you to be better than this,
because I'm not impressed
with the way you pretend that your life is just like those that you see on t.v.
Is it too hard to change your mind, and use your thoughts like legs to get into the clear?
Is it too much to ask for you to use your voice to sing through the lies, confusion, and fear?
Do you still have a voice, I wonder.
You have the choice to stand idle or wander.
