Things We Assume

I can hear what the people say and I can see their faces.
Telling me what they mean and taking me back to all the home bases.

We think we know what they think when they have that look about them.
We think," Are my thighs to big? Does my hair need a trim?"

We bring ourselves to tears and break our own hearts.
We let what we assume people think bend and tear us apart.

But in actuality people may think the opposite.
They don't notice your hair or if u have a zit.

And it's just like us to hate them completely.
But they think good things, and talk of you so sweetly.

Don't dwell in the overcast of someone else's opinions.
Dwell in your thoughts. Swim with your own fins.

Don't stop when u catch your self day dreaming good things.
That's a time when you can see the hope that it brings.
