People want someone

Who says its okay;

Who controls them

and tells them

what they should say.

But people aren't puppets

And they shouldn't act

Like they only can move

With the strings out their back.

Use your own voice

You can't borrow mine.

If you just listen,

There may come a time

When you realize your problems

Aren't so bad

And you're being selfish

By saying you're mad

When I say I can't listen

To your complaints anymore;

When I turn and wave sadly

As I walk out the door.

Life gets much better

When you start to look up.

As thoughts get more negative,

Life gets too tough.

Don't ever trust others

More than you trust yourself

Because you know you better

Than anyone else.
