We Need To Stop
We live in a society
Where people would
Rather talk to their
Phones that to the
Person in from of them.
Where there are more
People with eating
Disorders that there
Are people with green
Eyes. Where 1/8
Students
Suffer from self-harm.
Where people get killed
For the colour of their
Skin. Where they teach
People to not get raped
Rather than don’t rape.
Where men are told
That they can’t be
“Sissy”. Where women
Can’t be a “butch”. Where
The perfect woman
Has a thigh gap,
Big breasts and
A tiny waist. Where
The perfect man doesn’t
Cry and has abs. where
School is about passing
Rather than learning.
Where a man said:
“I can’t breathe” 11
Times before he was
Released. Where
Kids die every
Day from taking their
Lives. Where
They tell you to be
Yourself but judge
You till you break.
Where 3+ people in every
Class suffer from
A mental disorder.
Where men are stuck
In abusive relationships.
Where there are abusive
Relationships. Where
Parents don’t love
Their children. Where
Girls are forced to
Change because their
Bodies are “distractions”.
Where boys are taught that
Not being a virgin is
Manly. Where kids
Prefer to drink illegal
Substances than do
Homework. Where school
Is more important then
Your mental health.
Where woman can’t
Have “casual sex”
Because they’re too
Emotional. Where
Black people protesting
Are claimed terrorists.
Where 1 in every 3
Women experience
Sexual assault by the
Time they leave university.
Where people say
“Men can’t get raped.”
Where women are
Looked at as objects,
Where people are against
Each other. Where diet
Pills are cheaper than
Medication. Where a
Majority of the world
Is homeless. Where we
Destroy smaller
Countries for our
Benefits. We live in
A self-destructive
Society. And we
Need to stop.
