Arresting Development

Consummate your marriage when you’re a never-nude
Applaud your friend when you’re readily backstabbing
Love your girlfriend when you’re sexing a dude
Profess your profundity when you’re bullshiting
Protesting to be objectified when you enjoy it
Expand your vocabulary when you’re abusing the thesaurus
Despise mimicry when you’re excellent at it
Live by your choices when you’re depending on self-help books
Lament your woes when you’re actually happy
Try beating them when you really want to join them
Write like Edgar Allan Poe when you don’t even know poetry
Praise God when and only if you’re asking something for him
Purport honesty when your life is a lie
Love your job when they’re exploiting you
Maintain a poker face when you want to cry
Disguise your poverty with seemingly branded clothes
Love yourself when you hate everything you do
