A Society Of LiesA Poem by Elizabeth FiskeI try to see the better side By writing all these words and rhymes, By bleeding on paper, By leaving my heart an open crater, But there is no better side To a society of lies. Society captivates my soul, How all these hearts have paid the toll To live in misery, To feel as if they own some liberty To express the joys of life. I think we need a sudden strife: Fight fire with fire, Drown our acidic tears, And roll in the ashes of our desires. I think we have to die inside, To realize That we need to change, To have the strength To be come better than ourself. It's an annoyance. We can't be so ignorant Thinking, "I'm perfect the way I am!" For we are never perfect. In a world of the unique, The free, Perfect is non-existent. We're born with flaws. We're born with claws To fight ourselves. We must break this society That tells us to value the bullet shells Used to kill ourselves. So many think wrong, Our claws and flaws don't make us strong. It's our Love, Determination, Daring to be different That makes us strong... That makes us... Perfect
