Shadows

This one is all about the stereotypes in life and how you shouldn't listen to them because you should only be who you want yourself to be. Xx

In the way we dress,
In the way we speak,
Everything's a test,
To see if we are weak.

We grow in people's shadows.
We live in people's lies.
We dress in the right clothes,
We look through others eyes.

We're forced to be trendy,
Because apparently that's right.
Can't we be a little edgy?
Or are we not allowed to fight?

So we live in people's shadows
Because there's nothing we can do
As we get knocked in people's blows.
The world just isn't true.

What's so bad about standing out?
Why can't we be different?
What's this chaos all about?
And what is it we're missing?

For once let's step out of line,
Let's mix up things a little
And be unique because that's fine
Oh why are we so brittle?

We need to change those tiny things,
That we don't want to be,
Let's go shout and spread our wings,
Because this just isn't me!
