this is how it works,
you drop your sight and keep your distance and you're okay!
no one wants to bother with someone who is invisible,
unvisible to the naked eye,
because no one wants to bother with microscopes,
stethoscopes,or horoscopes anymore.
you are minute in this large and lovely world until you open your mouth.
and thats when the critics come in,
they poke and prod and pull til you're reduced, even more so, to tears.
thats what they love to see; rivers flowing from your eyes.
honey, let me tell you what i've told so many other girls.
they're jealous, scared, and threatened because you're TRYING to make a place for yourself on this earth.
they're they girls who drink themselves to sleep in someone elses bed
or injecting some new club drug into their very own heads.
they're the girls who dress like fashion models and think they're beauty queens.
but people are just people,
and they're only seventeen.
go ahead, voice your opinion and laugh off their remarks.
