Just a Little Bit of Advice

No matter what they say, life can be true hell,
 i learned the hard way...

dont trust sitters, you dont know what they do,
when you turn your back,
keep an eye on your child;
check their weight and for a single bruise;
ask your children about abuse...

dont trust people,
it seems they always lie,
and even with the very best ones,
your friendship will soon die,
we only have a moment in this life,
why waste it? why not give it a try...

dont trust boys,
but oh its hard to say that one,
as i very much so trust my man,
but recongnize the difference between the two,
a man will respect, a boy only hurts you...

dont take drugs,
not chemicals, not pills,
dont smoke weed, 
withdraw gives you the chills,

no matter what they say, all drugs are addictive,
  i learned the hard way. . . 

dont smoke ciggeretts, 
oh gosh and please dont chew,
they arent the worst habits,
but it looks bad on you,

dont ever cut your skin,
not by your own hand,
when you look at the scars,
they seem worthless and hard,
they make you wanna scream,
trust me you dont want to bleed,

dont hide your tears,
be proud that you feel,
let the world see your pain,
because your not alone, no way,
and when you start feeling weak,
up you must speak,

no matter what they say, you gotta speak up,
  i learned the hard way. . . [i know guys, its really tough]

dont let it bug you,
if it doesnt feel right,
stop what ever it is,
before it fu*cks up your life,
whether family or friend,
or someone you dont know,
the bad must finally go!

dont slack off, 
youll get way too far behind,
so far back,
that you cant even change your mind,
your choice will be made,
cause you decided to sleep that day,

dont let go of your dreams,
are you kidding!? are you crazy!?
their all you have left,
their all you really need,
so close your eyes,
dont expect it to come true,
and dream. . . 

listen, life isnt easy,
and this isnt all my advice,
but pay to it, 
just a little of your mind...
