A Dose Of Reality

This world full of fake flowers and fake friends,
Just people trying to fit in, to keep up with trends.
Reality is blurred by trying to be "the same",
But fame is an opinion, and they only know your name.

A dose of reality is what they all need,
To make them realize it's about more than just their greed.
We need to lift each other up rather than racing to be the best,
We must give others a blessing, for we ourselves are blessed.
