Who Are You

Are you sensitive to the things that people say Allowing what's said to determine the outcome of your day Letting others push your buttons and take you there Knowing that everyone's not nice and life is just not fair Are you a people pleaser trying to appease everyone Knowing that keeping everybody happy just can't be done Being helpful, kind and considerate to keep the peace around But knowing that somewhere someone's gonna try to bring you down Are you a hard working person that's just trying to get a break Trying so hard to be perfect and make not one mistake Beating yourself over the head with each wrong turn you take Not believing in yourself and wrestling with every decision you make Are you that self centered person who thinks the world revolves around you No one can measure up to your standards or do as well as you do Thinking everyone's ideas are bad but yours are always good If you keep up with that mentality you just might fall where you stood Are you the rational one in the crowd who just tries to make things clear You talk until you're black and blue but very few have a listening ear The fact is most people simply just want things to go their way And they will stick to it no matter what anyone might say
