Don't you feel trapped sometimes? Like you have to follow some type of unwritten code to be accepted?
Indeed, I must look or act a particular way to blend in and be a part of urban society. I must wear certain types of clothes. Hang out at certain places. Behave in a certain manner. Hmmm... Why? Why do we do this? Why can't we just be ourselves without the influence of others? Is this ever going to change? Are we ever going to be comfortable being our true selves? Or does urban society tell us who we are or ought to be? Are we going to be trapped in the urban prison or experience anti-urban freedom?

Are we going to just sit by and go with the flow or make some changes?
More please.
