Before Your Life Dies
Why are looks
held in the highest regard?
The beautiful worshiped,
the inadequate marred
People are shallow,
set standards too high
People are harsh,
not worth a tear you could cry
So why do we live
like what they say matters?
Don't you see how much
it bruises and tatters?
Don't let them pull you
into conformity with them
Don't place yourself with pebbles
when you, my dear, are a gem
If you isn't good enough
for their shameful selves to love
Then will they cast themselves away
when they age and beauty they have nothing of?
Skin will fall short,
good looks will someday end
One day heart will be
all we'll have, my friend
So don't waste your life
on your image in their eyes
And just live your life
before your life dies
held in the highest regard?
The beautiful worshiped,
the inadequate marred
People are shallow,
set standards too high

And just live your life
before your life dies
