I AM ANGRY

I am angry
Because the world doesn't allow me to do things I want
To be the next Prime Minister
Or  to be simply extraordinary

I am angry
Because the world doesn't allow me to eat that extra piece of cake
For I will be called 'ugly'
When I gain extra pounds

I am angry
Because the world emphasises more on my looks
What I'm gonna wear and how I'm gonna sit
Instead of the power of my brain

I am angry
Because the world sets an unrealistic standard of beauty
Flawless skin and shiny hair
Fair complexion and pointy nose

I am angry
Because the world keeps on exploiting women
Treating them like objects
To satisfy its own greed

I am angry
Because I allowed myself to be deceived by the world
Chasin' after wind
Running after things that are worthless

I am angry
Because I was so foolish
For letting the world define what beauty is
And wasting my energy
In pursuing these deceptions

I am angry
Because I think too much about others' thought of me
When all that matters is
What I think of myself

I am angry
For I have focused too much on how I look
When I can use my energy
To make a difference in someone's life

I am angry
Because I was drifted away
From what is really important
And idolising things that will never fill up my soul

I am angry
Because I blame the world too much
When it all comes to me
For I have the power to decide
To be shaped by the world
Or to be shaped by God
