The New Normal


We decided our future

We ordained our fate

We remoulded our mindsets

We adjusted our attitudes

Society was full of contradictions

Impossible idealistic pressures for the benefit of our puppet masters

The money lenders keep us bound in chains impulsive shopping, pay day loans & credit card by making us want to compete with our sisters

The wedding industry is milking brides while divorce attorneys stand by waiting

Food industry pressure us away from natural foods with lies, and health insurance & medical bills isn’t cheap

We aim for the top, and chastised when we get there

No support if you break the normal

Cos the wealthy control what should be normal

They dictate how we should think- targeted marketing

Our lifestyle- celebrity

Whom we should like – network marketing

And encourage envy – social media

 

This isn’t reality, we were enclosed in a cocoon and we don’t realise.

Break away from the zombie mentality,

Reach out and think beyond what you think you are capable of.

Women are constantly torn in several different directions with high expectations and no room for failure

Help a sister on your way. Everyone life path is different; we are all team mates with different functions.

Appreciate your sisters & kill competition.

Let’s make up a New Normal

Naive


This is us, from your point of view..
Naive is what I was, when I got with you again.
Believing we were the perfect match.
That we completed one another..
Believing that we could go back to the way things were..
I've outgrown such thoughts now.
Whether you admit it or not I'm not the one...
you settled for me..
I'm no longer naive enough to believe that I was your one true love..
Denying there was another..
Denying how you felt..
Denying the actions of the past.
Or should I say, burying it..
That's all part of the process of constructing innocence..
I'll let you decipher the process..
You think I'm insecure.. I tell you I'm not..
I'm comfortable with things however they turn out.
Insecurity isn't something I give much attention to these days..
I'm prepared for the worst..
Not as naive as I was before,
Believing some of the constructed truths you led me to believe.
