all you needed to be

a poem about peer pressure i guess

You think that you’re a failure

That you’re not good enough

All because you’re not like them

And being deferent’s rough

 

And so you sit there crying

Sobbing all for you

Because you just depend on them

But their smiles just aren’t true

 

So shatter all the mirrors

And step on all the glass

Cover up and make up

And try not to be outcast

 

And every time you see your self

And see what you’ve become

I hope you see that your still that girl

Who wasn’t like every one

 

But now you’ve chosen not to be

Who you really are

You’d rather be the s****y girl

And the football players car

 

And when every thing is said and done

Is that really you

The girl who’s finally fitting in

But still inside so blue

 

There’s no way to turn back time

And so you’ve lost those years

Instead of living life with friends

You’ve spent it with your fears

 

And now that it’s all over

Tell me, can you see

That every thing that you really were

was all you ever needed to be
