Six Feet

your only as tall as your heart 
will let you be ... 

and your only as small as the world will make you seem


when the going gets rough and you feel like you may fall


just look on the brightside 
your only roughly six feet tall

inside out were all the same
race to attitude we all lie

inside we have all died
the child in you dies

our smiles fake our hears bleeding 

our hope is on a string on its last year
and your days are numbered
