trying to be ourselves

working with everyone
connected to everyone
sharing with everyone
it's hard to be ourselves

helping everyone
believing everyone
understanding everyone
it's hard to be ourselves

accepting all the duties that they're giving us
believing all the lies that they're telling us
buying all the products that they're selling us
it's hard to be ourselves

together with everyone
trying to accept everything
but getting more confused
it's hard being myself

"Consider a Ph.D. program in economics; who knows, if you fail at everything in life, perhaps you could at least go into teaching."
