Dear Society.
Dear society,
We are tired,
Tired of being locked like this,
In your cage of nags and taunts,
We are tired of all your pressurizing,
Something which always haunts.
“She needs to lose some weight”,
“His grades are sinking downwards!”
But let me ask you all,
Who are you to label us?
You say us to be happy and ourselves,
Then you sneer at our choices,
You tell us to do what we perceive,
But then you want our thoughts to be unvoiced.
We are done with hearing your condemnatory outbursts,
We are done with you just being judgemental,
If you really just knew how much it kills us,
And if you really knew how much it hurts.
Let me tell you what we desire for,
We want your jeers to be out of the way,
We really want to rise and shine,
And pursue our dreams, unconfined.

Hey! Ananya here! This is my first piece of writing that I'm submitting. As its title suggests, this piece of a poem is a poem for society, for people jeering at our choices, making us feel less wanted, confused, and not being confident enough within ourselves just because of the fear that " what will people say." This poem is about the agony and anger we teenagers have against society when they sneer at us merely because we aren't the same way others are, when we don't want to do what others do and when we want to be someone out of the box.
