Surviving

Surviving
By saying the socially accepted things
In the socially funny ways
And the weird things
Without being too weird

Mastering it
Playing the game
Becomes survival
But also a prison
Of dependency

And an inner knowing
That I have to keep playing that game
Or I will be rejected

And knowing
That I am loved for how I play
Not for who I am
Lonely
In my prison
What good is being loved for how I play?

Showing who you are
You might lose ‘friends’
Keep playing the game
And you´re disconnected

In a lose lose situation
Why not go for the win?
And daring to show more

More and more people are doing it
You might just meet
Someone

And connect
