Just another poem

Exposed to what kids shouldn’t see
knowing it’s wrong, what’s really meant to be
it’s a forgotten option
they tend to whine and sob and
cry to their momma
getting bullied around school
tired of drama
it’s all over rated, its uncool

Society’s view is of other nature
more like danger
so hung up on this world
so worried about the wager
worried about thoughts of others
some end up 6 feet below
because of hating comments that tend to grow
each year more and more fall
why can’t we stand up, stand tall
for what we believe in
what we grew up with
realize that it’s love
that keeps all us going

It’s crazy to think this world is based on evil
but we can’t have one without the other either
so keep your chin up buttercup
forget them haters
and move on up
Your life is too precious to be wasted
accept life, and embrace it

Always keep going, and never stop. All those problems you may have to face, think of them as speed bumps on a road. You'll get through, I promise.
