Global Dropout

Bite your tongue for the sake of peace labels you a noble cop-out 

call injustice by his name labels you a global dropout 

The sweet spot is a maze 

And the world is a haze

And that optimistic stare becomes a pessimistic gaze.

Days become weeks 

And weeks become years 

And upside-down smiles become all-out tears

but the futures been played inside your head

and it’s not a pretty sight.

Usually coming from the one with no skin in the game 

but the scares of rejection dig deep in the flesh

and causes a reaction when synapses mesh

the brain send a signal of immediate doubt
