Swollen and Hard

not every thing should be this way

Swollen and Hard

they told me I was a handsome lad

a smile that could steal a heart

I let that thought turn me into a cad

I allowed my head to become swollen

they said if I truly applied myself

I could be anything I wanted

I let that thought sit on the shelf

I allowed my head to become hard

life's lessons take time to learn

there are no perfect answers

your soul can simply crash and burn

if you let your ego become swollen

friendships will eventually fade away

tired of your selfish ways

you will regret your actions someday

if you let your heart become hard

cherish every moment let your heart sing

learn giving is such a wondrous way

your smile can become an ugly thing

if you become swollen and hard
