Listen

Listen

Can you hear it?

Those sounds.

Yeah, neither can I.

I keep it locked up.

And I keep it hidden away,

because that is what they continue to say.

Listen, listen

Do you hear them?

Smile more,

cry less.

Do more,

eat less.

That is what they say,

because life is based on attract-ability.

And you can't cry pretty.

Listen, listen, listen

Have confidence, they say,

Love yourself, they say,

You're different, and that's okay they say.

But you're not okay,

and they're not okay.

Are you listening now?
