They

They always tell you what to do
what to wear
what to lose

they tell you that you are ugly
need to barf
and eat no more food

they tell you thats out of style
that is lame
fake a smile

they tell you spend all your money
always look beautiful
never act funny

but who are they?
who made the rules
who says this is stupid
and this should be cool?

they are the world
the pressure
the hurt
and the pain
they are your friends
your neighbors
but it all depends

on your true friends
your real family
that tell you it's okay
to be cool
to be stupid
and tell you be lame

trust your heart
make your own life happen
the way it should be
and then
just maybe
you'll be happy
