Don't Listen to Them

You’ve roamed these halls for 4 years now,

And you’ve heard all kinds of malicious talk,

You should be used to it by now,

But it still hurts.

Just one piece of advice for you baby girl,

Don’t listen to them.

“You’re ugly”

How can you listen to them when you should know it’s not true?!

How can you listen when your personality is beautiful?

Don’t listen to them.

“You’re so freaking annoying”

How can you listen  when you’re smarter than them?

How can you listen when they’re just jealous of you?

That’s right, they’re just jealous of you.

Even though you feel so angry, and so tired.

You know where you’re going, and who you are.

Don’t listen to them.

Don’t listen to them when they’re not even going to college.

Don’t listen to them when all they do is talk shit.

You know better,

And you’re doing better.

Who cares that they think you’re annoying because you always participate?

Who cares that they think you’re ugly, when you know you’re beautiful?

Just don’t listen to them.

You’re the one that’s going to be graduating.

You’re the one that will get a free ride to college while serving in the Army.

Don’t listen to them.
