Struggle

This constant struggle to live a good life,
allows no time at all, to deal with the strife.
We must fight uphill battles, just to fit in,
doing whatever it takes, just to get the win.

There are requirements that we must know.
We watch for them, and we learn as we go.
Although not taught in any of our schools,
without them we'd never follow the rules.

Society's ways aren't the same everywhere
It may still cast us out, if we fail to adhere.
I've been sitting here trying to sort it all out.
Would it be something you might know about

I don't mean to bother, I hope you won't mind.
Can you open my eyes, they seem to be blind.
If you can help, please sit down here with me.
Help me fill the blanks so that I too can see.
