I Tried Smiling

Pointless

What's the point of being cool,

if you have to fit into a certain category,

that includes adopting qualities that contradict your true self?

Why pretend to be someone you're not,

when it all ends once high school's over?

(((  

All those people who envied you,

they would have moved on,

and you,

you would realize that you don't even know who you are -

after spending five years trying to be someone else.

The perks of being cool, they don't benefit you in the real world...

What's the point of being cool,

being popular,

if it is only in the eyes of people in their teenage age?

(((  

What's the point of being cool,

if you don't get to be yourself -

but if you're truly shallow, self-centered and an attention seeker then I guess it's fine.

(((  

What's the point of being cool if you are always obliged to conform,

or else you'd lose the label,

you'd be demoted to "loser",

(((  

simply because you stood up for your morals and values.

What's the point of being cool,

if it's all for the wrong reasons?

Why go to great lengths to be accepted,

risk your life and prove your lack
of common sense,

exposing your stupidity...

just to be cool for a brief moment?

What's the point of being freaking cool,

if it has an expiration date and could lead to an identity crisis?!

A/N: I urge you to stop giving a damn about being cool - learn to love yourself instead of changing yourself for everybody else. And when you change yourself - ask yourself if you're doing it for others or for yourself: and answer honestly...don't lie to yourself.
