Peer pressure is real

It starts from day one

Haunting, daunting and taking away the fun

It scares people from school

And jobs they never choose

Peer pressure is the hand that forces our mouths closed

With every bite we eat, it throws on the floor

Ugly, fat, pig, cow the words echo

In our ears

Lose some weight, never eat again, glue your mouth shut

Peer pressure has all of the answers if you’re stuck in a rut

But do they? Do they? Do they know?

All the damage they’ve caused by their hurtful words.

The hair thinning, and stomach pains are just the beginning

Dizziness, fainting, anxiety, and guilt

The list goes on you’ll eventually wilt

Just like a flower, we need food and water too

Our survival depends on it

Love yourself, love yourself again and again

Don’t listen to your peers

They don’t know the real you
