Such foolish things we’re taught when babes,
Arrogance and hate and impudent ways.
Raised in belief of being absolute, never wrong and with nothing to refute.
In false perfection we try to make our way into a world also so feigned -
And impressions we leave on those we meet, as we stomp and stampede on fragile heartbeats.
Such misery we feel with painted smiles on our face,
and wonder why we’re so lost in a haze.
To God we look and shake our fists, as we delve deeper into an abyss.
So unhappy so fearful so frantic we feel, as we begin to lose the ground beneath our heels.
Miserable and wretched souls we become, disbelieving, unfeeling, and bitter someones.
But if we quiet ourselves and have patience and faith, our tomorrows will surely be much brighter days,
when we finally realize we’re not so damn perfect,
and all we were taught was a load of horseshit.
