People Say
People say make friends,
What they don't understand is people aren't so accepting.
Make friends, a simple phrase with so many heartaches, rejection and pain.
Why do you think people can't let go,
Why people can't say goodbye, because they know that goodbye really means 'I'm alone now'
So they stick with those that cause them pain
What is wrong with society, fear of refection stopping them from being truly happy.
Why is there rejection at all? Why can't everyone just be supportive, hold in the mean words and snickers.
People say be kind, but are people really ever? After the sarcastic remarks and the gossip, is anyone ever really kind?
People say don't cheat, but watch the news, read the stories, listen to the gossip in the halls. How often do we hear about a cheated relationship, or a kid who got caught with an answer key to a test.
People expect the world to be perfect, but it never has been and it never will be. Perfection is an unattainable thing, yet we all strive so hard to be the idle of the very word. Why can't we understand that perfection never was and never will be.
