Warped Reality

Someone please tell me

why swearing is considered such an unspeakable, terrible thing to do

when worse things are shown in the media like it’s daily news?

Young models in magazines

looking like their ribs are trying to break free from their skin

actors being raped and murdered on the big screen

anyone different being portrayed as monsters

when they’re just normal human beings.

I feel like I’m living in a warped reality

everything is backwards

and nothing makes sense to me

someone please explain

why in some countries

it’s still illegal to be gay

or why people get hurt

just for looking a certain way

someone reassure me

that I’m not the only one

who thinks the world is crazy

and tell me that there will come a time

when things will change

I’m not asking for a miracle

I’m not looking for some big epiphany

I understand that things will never change completely

so just give me a drop in the ocean

make me hope if only for a moment

that there are still people out there like me

who see the world the way I see

make me believe

that I’m not the only one

not participating in this warped reality.

Two countries in Africa. Were hunting the gay community. Putting them in prison. I agree with your thoughts. A modern world is falling backward. I don't understand. The warped reality of this world leave me confused. Thank you for sharing the powerful words and thoughts.

This is what is called double standards. I am really happy you raised such questions the need to be asked and answers must be demanded :)

You are definitely not the only one who thinks this way. I too am in the list.
A sad but true fact is that the society is biased. Excellent job penning it down
