Riptide

How many people try to live up to people's expectations. How many model themselves after someone just to "fit in"? The song Riptide by SickPuppies has a great message which is live for yourself. Don't try to live up to others expectations, just your own. That you don't have to justify the way you live your life 'cause your different. You don't have to listen to everything they say you should do. The reason being that it will "help you."


 I love the message because so many people in today's society try to fit in and change themselves just to make others happy, and the others that don't try to fit in are criticized, called freaks, and are made fun of.
If you want an example of that just look at any high shcool in america. If your not part of the "in" crowd your a nobody.I really hate that the world is like that. It really is pathetic. I just don't understand the concept that idea. What's the point of fitting in with others if you loose what makes you you in the process?


So anyone out there reading this remember, live for yourself and no one else just so you can fit in. Don't loose yourself in the crazy world of todays society.

Humanity

Why do we fight each other
How come we insist on punishing one another
What happened to the world's humanity
Why can't we treat eachother like family


Isn't everyone supposed to be "equal"
Where did those ideals go
Did everyone just forget about them
Or do they just not care




Everyone's the same
Quality dosn't matter
Unless we can
Amend our actions
Loss is all we'll achieve
