Action, Reaction

Branded for the way that you look
Your peace, your pride, your smile all took
Forced into groups for the way you think
Play your role with plastic smile
You start to sink
Drowning in an ocean of false happiness, false approval

Why can't you see this?
It's concealed behind rubber praise
Bouncing from one to another
Lost in the haze
A social Holocaust
Trying to escape but you feel so lost

Pressure like cyanide
You want it now
An escape
The blissful steel digging into your wrist
Bleeding out the pain
An end with a twist

Now you're watching your friends do it too
Unable to stop them
The pressure builds again
But now there's no relief
Forced to watch as your family joins you
But it isn't your fault

No, it is your fault
Action, reaction.
