Listening to People
Someone once told me to never dream too hard,
and that I should never put my faith in the stars.
They told me to keep up my guard,
and that I should never talk about my scars.
They told me that I should keep quiet,
and instead of eating so much, I should go on a diet.
Someone told me that people don't care,
and you can scream to the world that "life's not fair".
Someone taught me that things won't always go my way,
and that every once in a while I'll have a really bad day.
Someone grabbed my hand and told me life is hard,
then they raised their hand and pointed me to God.
Someone told me that people will look down on me,
and that life is cloudy sometimes we can't see.
The blessing that are right in front of us,
The fact that they're right there is kinda sus.
Someone told me not to grow up too fast,
because you can never go back in the past.
