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
