Seriously, Just Shut Up

You can never be quiet

       Something always needs to be said

Can't you tell that no one wants to hear?

       Can't you tell that no one cares?

You always just have to make everything about you

Guess that's just part of your insecurities

       How sad, really

You'd be better if you'd just act like yourself

       If you'd stop trying to be me

If you'd wouldn't like every thing just because someone else likes it

Don't pretend you like every type of music

Don't go out to buy the books other people like

And then don't go all fanatic 

       and pretend like you knew about everything all along

Stop being a know-it-all

Everyone is tired of your voice

You abuse the power of having one at all

You aren't always right

Most of the time you're wrong, actually

There's nothing wrong with being wrong

But you just can't accept that you're wrong

It always has to be someone else to take the fault

Your beliefs: where do they come from?

Some stupid television show

Wow. How idiotic to follow along with the stupid stereotype,

Not to mention rude and disrespectul

You never think of that though

Don't say anything. 

Seriously.

It'll just be the biggest piece of crap to ever leave your mouth

Ugh, why are you still talking?!

You insist on throwing away every shred of dignity you could have

When will you ever take the time to listen to yourself?

No one else will do it for you,

No one wants to hear what you have to say

You do that to yourself though

Maybe someone would care 

If every once-in-a-while you would just shut up

So just shut up!
