Yours

You grow up listening to the kids at school These little people that have the voice of a giant Their big boulders full of words that will hit you in the face When you get older you will begin to see what they are doing They are changing you... for the worse They try to transform the way you act, the way you live. Soon you realize what is happening You realize that you are drowning in a ocean that you can’t escape Your life becomes flooded and soon you can’t hear You can’t hear your thoughts, Others become your own What do you do? What can you do? Can you do anything? I don’t see how when others opinions become the only opinion in your life Emphasis on YOUR life It is yours, you can still take it back Take it back from the people that control you From the giants that slap you daily….daily They don’t know what they are doing to you They don’t know it actually bothers you, that it hurts you It starts out as simple “i'm just joking”, you brush it off Soon it’ll get to you, then all you’ll want to do is cry…..cry Now your just drowning yourself, even more in your own tears Those tears are YOUR tears, remember this is YOUR life, YOU can get back up Don’t let it bother you You are You Be yourself Be you Beautiful
