Take A Second Look

May 31, 2013
Breathe in Breathe out Breathe in Breathe out And it seems like no doubt that you know what Im all about But thats okay because one day youll realize your wrong That life aint no simple song That you just memorize or scrutinize You have to realize the way One way to stay away from all the hate that we all generate and think is fate! Forsake! To feel abandoned- when no one will give you a hand and- it leaves you feeling so bland and- Unsure of just what to do Oh God! What is everybody going to think of you!? But its not true! Break free and open your eyes It sure will bring things down to size- And I advise- and stress upon you- Do what you want to do- What you were born to do- because only you know- and those who tell you different will ultimately become your foe. But then again I dont really know. All I know is me. And if all I know is me and all you know is you Then who is true to construe, pursue, bring to and hold up to you what they Thought was you? Because it is so undeniably true. That no other really knows you.
