Don't Make the Same Mistake


A mere shadow, a dark empty space, Just someone with less taste. 
And everyone's always arguing about all the top things 
But they never see what's falling 
The friends around them, the family respect that was once up there. 
It's like life is being blinded 
Your always being reminded 
"Look forward into your future, what do you see your self 10 years from now." "Maybe if you cared some more there wouldn't be a frown 
Upon my face." 
The futures a scary place 
But they always said conquer your fears Show no tears 
Hold your head up high 
And you won't have to live down by the drive-by.
