The Golden Days

People want perfection,

But perfection, I am not

They've made me so self-conscious,

Making my true self rot

We have so many "laws",

All that I have to follow

One slip in a move,

And they'll all treat me shallow

To think that in this century,

Everyone would be fair,

But old days will never be gone,

Except now we don't share

I miss when people were kind,

And everyone was a friend

When they would be there for you,

There until the end
