is that smile really real?

can't you see that you have it all,
from those who love you to those who don't,
all the wealth of this world and the love,
are you still complaining?

there are those who have less than you,
less love, less money, less knowledge,
you have it all, and you're still upset?
open your eyes and look around

you never went a day without food,
you never slept on the cold, hard floor,
never had to worry about earning money,
do you still have it hard?

you sat on your seat and gripped your hair,
you cried to yourself, worrying about those grades,
don't you see the world around you?
don't you see the world without you?

it is dark and desolate,
you know nothing about the world
you're buried in your textbooks,
you don't know the cruelty of this world

you get what you want,
you have everything that there is,
are you happy?
is that smile really real?

you're following your parents dream,
walking in their footsteps,
is it worth it?
do you really want that?

live the life you want,
it's yours, not theirs,
live every moment for yourself,
because tomorrow you might not be here

live the life you want, it's yours, not theirs, live every moment for yourself,because tomorrow you might not be here
