What Do You Hear?

The world keeps spinning
Time will not slow down.
"Keep up!" society screams.
Louder and louder is the sound.

"Try harder, go faster,
It's never good enough.
But don't loose that smile,
Don't show your hands are rough."

"Perfection is you goal!"
Is written all around.
But what's the definition of that?
Will it ever be found?

So learn to close your eyes
And listen to your heart.
Take time to enjoy life
This is the place to start.

This is actually exactly how my life feels at the moment. Everyone wants you to be like this and like that, and even when you don't agree, you are expected to keep that smile and say yes and amen to everything they want.

What you said in the last for lines are so true, but also so hard to do.

Stand your own man and loose all that you can, if you understand what I'm trying to say
