They Tell You to be Yourself and then They Judge You.
April 5, 2019
I wish I could be as good as them
I wish I was as cool as them
I wish is was as pretty as them
I wish I was as fortunate as them
But think for a second.
Who is “Them”
It’s the people who crush you
It's the people who say those words to your face.
It’s the people who say to be yourself.
They are people who say don't be afraid to show who you truly are.
They are also the people who ignore you.
“Them” are the people who judge you for who you are.
Them, Is who you fear most.
Them is who you hate with all your heart
Them, is who you have know for all your life.
Them, Is your family, friends
Them, is the people you used to love.
Them is you
